I.       PURPOSE:  Calculus 272 is the second part of a three-part course of Calculus.

    This course is intended to:

A.     Equip students with a working knowledge of the integral calculus.

B.     Prepare students for more advanced studies in Natural Sciences and further mathematics.

 

II.      OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE:

A.  General learning objectives

1.   To acquaint students with the utility of definite integrals by presenting many applications.

2.   To provide a systematic study of integration which completes the calculus of functions of one real variable.

3.   To study advanced integration techniques.

4.   To initiate a treatment of solid analytic geometry and the calculus of functions of more than one variable.

B.   Specific behavioral objectives

At the conclusion of this course the student should be able to:

1.   Use integral and differentials involving Trigonometric functions to solve problems of area, distance, and work.

2.   Use integrals to calculate volumes and areas of solids of revolution.

3.   Calculate centroids of plane and solid figures.

4.   Calculate fluid pressures.

5.   Be able to identify and compare different types of Sequences and Series.

6.   Determine if a series is divergent or convergent.

7.   Show how to write a Taylor or MacLaurin polynomial for a particular series.

ATTENDANCE POLICY:

Regular attendance is essential to realize the purposes and objectives of this course. You are expected to attend every class! If circumstances beyond your control require you to be absent from class, it is your responsibility to obtain the information about what you missed.

 

VII.   STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

         Lee University is committed to the provision of reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities as defined in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.  Students who think they may qualify for these accommodations should notify their instructor immediately.  Special services are provided through the Academic Support Program.

 

VIII.    ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

As a Christian community of scholarship, we at Lee University are committed to the principles of truth and honesty in the academic endeavor.  As faculty and students in this Christian community, we are called to present our academic work as an honest reflection of our abilities; we do not need to defraud members of the community by presenting others’ work as our own.  Therefore, academic dishonesty is handled with serious consequences for two fundamental reasons: it is stealing – taking something that is not ours; it is also lying – pretending to be something it is not.  In a Christian community, such pretense is not only unnecessary, it is also harmful to the individual and community as a whole.  Cheating should have no place at a campus where Christ is King because God desires us to be truthful with each other concerning our academic abilities.  Only with a truthful presentation of our knowledge can there be an honest evaluation of our abilities.  To such integrity, we as a Christian academic community are called.
