MA 137 - Calculus for Engineers 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 integration of algebraic, trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic and inverse trig functions. Topics also include rectilinear motion, areas and volumes of revolution, different integration techniques and numerical integration methods. (prereq: MA 136 )
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
• Integrate functions by using trigonometric substitution
