MATH 125 BASIC CALCULUS
(new edition for Fall 2002)
Departmental Syllabus for Monday-Wednesday-Friday Schedule
(click here for Tuesday-Thursday schedule)

Text: Applied Calculus, second edition, by Hughes-Hallett, Gleason, Lock, Flath, et al., John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Calculator: A graphing calculator is required for this course. The Math Department highly recommends and provides support for the TI-83+ and TI-84+ models.


It should be noted that Math 125 satisfies the Quantative Reasoning Requirement$ the University Undergraduate Council: Quantitative Reasoning (2 courses): In today's world, arguments and claims often rely for support on scientific studies and statistical evidence. Students should possess the mathematical and quantitative skills to evaluate such evidence. Furthermore, students should possess the skills both to recognize the quantitative dimension of problems and to use mathematical reasoning to formulate and solve the problem. Finally, students need strong quantitative skills because they are indispensable in managing everyday-life situations. This requirement may be completed by either (1) taking two math or statistics courses from the list below, or (2) taking one math course from the list and one course designated in the undergraduate catalog as having a quantitative component (Q). Math 110, 115, 123, 125, 141, 142, 147, 148, 151, 152, 202 Stat 201, 207.

Note:All students must take the final exam!
