MA 137A - Calculus for Engineers II4 lecture hours 0 lab hours 4 credits Course Description This course is a continuation of MA 137 . The ‘A’ designation after the course number indicates this is a special section taught by our Learning Resource Center staff. There are extra math lab hours built in as a requirement for successful completion of the course. (prereq: None) Course Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Use Newton’s method to approximate the zeros of a function
- Find the differential of a function and use it to approximate error
- Integrate algebraic, exponential, trigonometric, logarithmic and inverse trigonometric functions
- Evaluate a definite integral by the limit of Riemann sums and by Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
- Use method of substitution to find indefinite and definite integrals
- Use method of integration by parts
- Integrate products and powers of trigonometric functions
- Integrate functions using partial fractions
