The course

This course is 4 credits. Math 1311 and 1321 together are equivalent to the three semester sequence Math 1210, Math 1220, and Math 2210.This sequence is intended for engineering majors. Review of introductory calculus, applications of differential and integral calculus, introduction to differential equations, conic sections and polar coordinates, numerical approximation, sequences and series.

  • General Information 
  • Tentative Plan of Lectures 

    • Lab

    Each student will be enrolled in one of two Thursday lab sections.  Labs will provide opportunities for reviews, help on homework, team work, presentations, and projects.  Cumulative scores from the lab will count toward your final grade.

    Homework

    Problems will be assigned weekly, and listed below.  A random subset of problems from each assignment will be graded. Late homework cannot be accepted.  Students may consult one another and discuss homework problems, however the assignments you turn in must represent your own work.  Time and effort spent on homework is always reflected in exam scores.
