This class is a course intended to expose students to all topics covered in a first year college calculus class. At the end of this full year course, students will have the equivalent of the first full semester of an introductory calculus course plus a solid overview of integration, which is usually covered in the second semester of a college sequence. In this year, emphasis will be placed on limits and derivatives. Students will gain a thorough understanding of the rules for differentiation, applications of differentiation, and graphing using calculus techniques. Students will be exposed to a solid introduction of integration and the idea of continuity of functions. Graphing calculators will be utilized as a tool for a more intuitive understanding of several of the concepts presented.
