MTH 200 - Applied Calculus

4 Credits

An intuitive introduction to the principal ideas of differential and integral calculus. Among the topics covered are: functions (including exponential and logarithmic), limits, differentiation, and integration. Emphasis will be placed upon the use of calculus in solving problems from areas including business, economics, and the social and natural sciences.

Prerequisite: MTH 165 with grade of C or better, or MCC Level 9 Mathematics placement, or equivalent.
