MATH 215 - Calculus II


Credit Hours: 4
Lecture Hours: 4
Laboratory Hours: 0

Prerequisite(s): MATH 210  or equivalent

Restriction(s): None

Corequisite(s): None

This course is concerned with the integral and its applications, and numerical approximation methods. Technology used is a graphing calculator and a Computer Algebra System. Topics studied are algebraic techniques of integration (such as substitution, parts, and partial fraction decomposition), Reimann, Trapezoid and Simpson numerical approximations to the definite integral, improper integrals, Taylor series, polynomials, and Fourier series. If time permits, a brief introduction to differential equations is included.

Student Learning Outcomes of the Course: General Education SLO’s:

  1. 1.Students will demonstrate the ability to interpret and draw inferences from mathematical models such as formulas, graphs, tables, and schematics.
  2. Students will demonstrate the ability to represent mathematical information symbolically, visually, numerically and verbally.
  3. Students will demonstrate the ability to employ quantitative methods such as, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, or statistics to solve problems.
  4. Students will demonstrate the ability to estimate and check mathematical results for reasonableness.
  5. Students will demonstrate the ability to recognize the limits of mathematical and statistical methods.
