Course Description: This is the first course in calculus and analytic geometry for students majoring in mathematics, physical science, computer science, or engineering. It includes functions and graphs, topics in analytic geometry, the analysis of algebraic and trigonometric functions, limits, derivatives, integrals, and applications.

Time Commitment: This course is only recommended for students who are willing to put in the time necessary to be successful. Students are expected to spend at least two hours studying outside of class for each hour in class. Each week, there are 4 hours and 20 minutes of class time. That means that students are expected to spend at least 8 hours and 40 minutes outside of class each week. In total, students will be spending at least 13 hours with the class (time outside of class + time inside of class)! Again, don't take the class unless you are willing to put in the necessary time. There are many young college students who are willing to work hard at math. Click here for an example of one.
