MATH-182 Calculus II

This course is the second in a three-part calculus sequence. Applications include area bounded by curves, volume by rotating and slicing, arc length, work, and centers of mass. Integration techniques taught include integration by parts, partial fractions, trigonometric substitution, numerical integration, and improper integrals. Students will be introduced to hyperbolic functions, elementary differential equations, direction fields, parametric equations, polar coordinates and their applications. The study of sequences and infinite series will include tests for convergence of the various types of series, leading to power series and Taylor series. The use of a computer algebra system will be an integral part of the course.

  8. 8. Determine the convergence or divergence of a sequence; and if it converges, find its limit.
  9. 9. Determine whether an infinite series converges or diverges.
  10. 10. Apply the properties and principles of infinite series to calculate either the exact or an
    approximate value of an infinite series.
