Textbook

Calculus with Differential Equations, 9th edition, by Varberg Purcell and Rigdon

Syllabus

The course will cover chapters 6 to 10 of the textbook.

The main topics of the course are the following:

transcendental functions and their inverse functions: the logarithm, the exponential function, inverse trigonometric functions, integration and differentiation of functions involving these transcendental functions
solutions of first order ordinary differential equations, approximation of solutions
integration techniques: integration by parts, by substitution, by partial fractions
indeterminate forms: l'Hôpital's rule and variants, improper integrals
infinite sequences and series: convergence and divergence, convergence set of a power series, Taylor and Maclaurin series
calculus in polar coordinates.

Course structure

Generally I will lecture following the textbook and go through the examples in class. There will be weekly homework assignments due each Friday and each Friday there will be a quiz at the end of the class. There will be 2 midterm exams and a final exam.

Grading
