Course Outline Information

 

10. Student Performance Outcomes: (Outcomes for all credit courses must indicate that students will learn critical thinking and will be able to apply concepts at college level.  Outcomes must be related to items listed in Section 11.)

1. Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
2. Use the disc method and washer method to find the volume of a solid of revolution. Use solids of revolution to solve real-life problems.
3. Use integration by substitution, integration by parts, partial fractions, and integration tables to find antiderivatives. Use techniques to solve real–life problems.
4. Evaluate improper integrals with infinite limits of integration and infinite integrands. Solve real-life problems.
5. Evaluate trigonometric functions (exactly and approximately), their limits and their derivatives. Calculate using degrees and radians.
6. Solve trigonometric equations (including real life applications) using identities and special angles.
7. Sketch the graphs of trigometric functions using calculus when necessary.
8. Analyze points (distance between and midpoint) and surfaces (spheres, planes, traces, level curves) and graphs (quadric surfaces) in the three dimensional coordinate system.
9. Calculate partial derivatives and find extrema of functions of several variables including real life examples.
10. Use Lagrange multipliers to solve constrained optimization problems.
11. Evaluate double integrals and use them to find area and volume.
12. Find general solutions and particular solutions of differential equations. Solve differential equations using separation of variables and integrating factors. Use differential equations to model and solve real-life problems.
13. Find the limit of a sequence of numbers and use techniques to solve business and economic applications involving sequences.
14. Determine the convergence or divergence of an infinite series. Use the Ratio Test and Convergence Test to determine convergence or divergence for p-series.
15. Use Taylor's Theorem to determine the Taylor and Maclaurin series of simple functions.
16. Use Taylor polynomials for approximation.
17. Use the Power Rule, Exponential Rule and Log Rule to calculate antiderivatives.
18. Evaluate definite integrals to find the area bounded by two graphs.
