Course Description: This course is a year-long introduction to calculus that integrates an
extensive review of algebra and elementary functions with the topics
taught in Calculus A (MATH 111). The course is intended for students
who need to strengthen their quantitative and algebraic precalculus
skills in order to learn calculus more effectively. Topics include
functions and their properties (including exponential, logarithmic, and
trigonometric functions), limits and continuity, and a thorough
introduction to the study of rates of change, called differential
calculus. The course will end with a brief introduction to integral
calculus (the problem of finding areas) and the connection between
integral and differential calculus. Students who have credit for MATH
111 may not take this course. Enrollment limited.
This course satisfies Kenyon's quantitative reasoning (QR) requirement. (But Math 110Y by itself does not!)
