Calculus II

Math 133

Dr. Douglas A. Lapp

Course Description

The purpose of this course is to examine the branch of mathematics called Calculus.  You might say that we are going to study change.  We will take a closer look at the behavior of functions and how we can predict this behavior.  The course will focus on topics including functions, modeling, limits, continuity, derivatives and their applications, and the integral.  The approach used will attempt to combine natural language, graphical, numerical, and symbolic representations of these topics and link them together for a deeper understanding of Calculus.  We will take an “active learning” approach and so you will be expected to engage in discussions and work with your fellow classmates to discover key concepts.  Since our class will meet in the new Active Learning Classroom (ALC), the technology will allow us to have deeper discussions where your ideas matter.  Be willing to share your thoughts with the class.  Keep in mind that the only dumb question is a question unasked.
