Description of the Calculus Courses
To choose your appropriate first calculus course at Mount Holyoke, please see the page: Beginning the Study of Mathematics and Statistics at Mount Holyoke.
Math 100f (A)- 100s (B) Enriched Calculus
This year-long course includes the topics in Math 101, Calculus I. It is intended for students who, based on the results of their precalculus assessment and the agreement of the instructor, need to strengthen their quantitative and algebraic precalculus skills in order to learn calculus.
Features modeling of phenomena in the natural and social sciences. Math 100A: representation and interpretation of data, functions and their graphs, the derivative. Math 100B: integrals and the varied processes that they can represent, accumulation and antidifferentiation, the several forms of the fundamental theorem, additional topics in differential equations with applications.
The combination of both 100-A and 100-B satisfies one Group II-A distribution requirementPrereq. permission of instructor. Student may send assessment score and background information to hpollats@mtholyoke.edu. 2 meetings (75 minutes), 1 meeting (50 minutes); 4 credits; enrollment limited to 30
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Students who have not studied calculus and who have the necessary precalculus background belong in Calculus I. Because some sections of Calculus I differ significantly from traditional high school calculus, it has been our experience that students who "start over," in order to ease the transition into college, initially may have more difficulty in Calculus I than beginners. However, students who take Calculus I expecting and welcoming new ideas have found it rich and rewarding. Please read the "Beginning the Study of Mathematics" section.
Catalogue Description for Mathematics 101: This course presents rates of change and their applications; integrals and solutions of differential equations; the fundamental theorem, and modeling of phenomena in the natural and social sciences.
Prerequisites: 4 admission units including trigonometry or permission of department;
3 meetings (75 minutes); 4 credits
With appropriate background in calculus, you may choose:
Most students who have taken calculus in high school begin with Calculus II. In particular, if you have studied the derivative and its applications and have been introduced to the definite integral, you will be prepared for Calculus II. Please read the "Beginning the Study of Mathematics" section.
Topics include techniques of integration, applications of integration, differential equations, sequences, series, and Taylor series.
Satisfies Science/Math II-A requirement2 meetings (75 minutes), 1 meeting (50 minutes); 4 credits
If you have a good knowledge of applications of integration and of transcendental functions, and if you enjoy mathematics, we encourage you to begin your college-level study of calculus with Calculus III. Please read the "Beginning the Study of Mathematics" section.
Topics include differential and integral calculus of functions of several variables.
