MTH 1110A - Calculus I4 lecture hours 1 lab hours 4 credits Course Description This course is the same as MTH 1110. The ‘A’ designation after the course number indicates there are extra math lab hours built in as a requirement for successful completion of the course. (prereq: MTH 1080 or placement in MTH 1110) (quarter system prereq: MA 120 or placement into MTH 1110) Course Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
