MA 137 - Calculus II

4 lecture hours 0 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
This course is a continuation of MA 136 and an introduction to integral calculus. Topics include Newton’s method, differentials, basic integrals involving algebraic, trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic, and inverse trig functions. Topics also include rectilinear motion, work, areas and volumes of revolution, integration techniques such as integration by parts and partial fractions, and numerical integration methods.  (prereq: MA 136)
