This course covers differential calculus for functions of one variable, with applications emphasizing the physical sciences. Topics include calculation and interpretation of limits and derivatives, curve sketching, optimization and related-rate problems, and Newton's method. The Computer Algebra System "Maple" is introduced as a tool for calculus.
Prerequisite: At least C+ in Principles of Math 12 or MATH 100 within the last two years or at least C+ in MATH 061 within the last two years. In exceptional cases, for example, where a student has transferred from another educational system or has been out of school for several years, entry into MATH 114 may be permitted based on a placement test administered (for these exceptional cases only) by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics during the first week of classes.
Note: Students who have never studied calculus before, or who barely satisfy the course prerequisites, are advised to register in a section vectored (5,0,0).
