***This is a course guideline. Students should contact instructor for the updated information on current course syllabus, textbooks, and course content***

*This course was previously MATH 1432*

Section number: This information applies to all sections.

Delivery format: face-to-face lecture or online.

Prerequisites: C- or higher in Math 2413.

Course Description: Techniques and applications of integration, sequences, series, polar coordinates and parametric equations.

Core Category: Math/Reasoning (90)

Textbook & Access Code: The textbook,online quizzes, and additional help materials will be made available by logging into CASA Campus Services (CCS) at https://ccs.casa.uh.edu/ . Students pay for access to CCS as part of their fee bill via CTAP. If one opts out of the CTAP, they can purchase an access code for this course at UH Bookstore. In this case, if the code is not entered by the deadline specified on CASA, students will lose access to CASA. No make ups will be given for assignments missed during the no-access period.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will:

  • Use the concepts of definite integrals to solve problems involving area, volume, work, and other physical applications.
  • Use substitution, integration by parts, trigonometric substitution, partial fractions, and tables of anti-derivatives to evaluate definite and indefinite integrals.
  • Define an improper integral.
  • Apply the concepts of limits, convergence, and divergence to evaluate some classes of improper integrals.
  • Determine convergence or divergence of sequences and series.
  • Use Taylor and MacLaurin series to represent functions.
