Math 112
Second Semester Calculus
(Warning: Students cannot receive credit for more than one of Math 112 or Math 132)
Description of the course
Concepts covered in this course include: methods of integration; applications of the integral to geometry, physics, and economics; slope fields and the qualitative behavior of solutions to differential equations; and Taylor series.
Successful completion of Math 112 is awarded 4 semester hours of credit. The lecture sections of the course meet 3 times a week for 50 minutes or twice a week for 80 minutes. Being a 4 credit hour course that only meets for 3 hours per week of lecture time indicates that you should anticipate dedicating a fair amount of time outside of lecture to complete homework and prepare for quizzes and exams. There are many resources available to you, including office hours with your instructor, tutoring through the Tribe TutorZone, and free tutoring from our graduate students.
