Course Description
MATH 1220 is an introduction to integral calculus. It develops the concept of the integral and its applications. Other topics include techniques of integration, improper integrals, sequences and series of numbers, Taylor series, polar coordinates, parametric equations, and separable differential equations.
This course is taught using a graphing calculator.

Learning Outcomes

MATH 1220 is a second course in calculus.  The four-semester sequence of MATH 1120, 1220, 2321, and 2421 provides the foundation for continued studies in science, engineering, computer science, or a major in mathematics.

At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

  • compute finite Riemann sums and use to estimate area
  • form limits of Riemann sums and write the corresponding definite integral
  • recognize and apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
  • evaluate integrals involving exponential functions to any base
  • evaluate integrals of reciprocal functions
  • evaluate integrals involving basic trigonometric functions and integrals whose solutions require inverse trigonometric functions
  • choose an appropriate method and apply the following techniques to find antiderivatives and evaluate definite integrals:
    • integration by parts
    • trigonometric and rationalizing substitution
    • completing the square for integrals involving quadratic expressions
    • partial fractions
    • integrals of products of trigonometric functions
  • apply integration to problems involving areas, volumes, arc length, work, velocity and acceleration
  • be able to determine the convergence or divergence of improper integrals by the comparison test
  • determine if a given sequence converges or diverges
  • determine if a sequence is bounded and/or monotonic
  • determine the sum of a geometric series
  • be able to choose an appropriate test and determine series convergence/divergence using:
    • integral test
    • simple comparison test
    • limit comparison test
    • ratio test
    • root test (optional)
    • alternating series test
  • distinguish and apply concepts of absolute and conditional convergence of a series
  • determine the radius and interval of convergence of a power series
  • approximate a differentiable function by a Taylor polynomial, determine the remainder term, and compute the error in using the approximation
  • find a Taylor or Maclaurin series representing specified functions by:
    • "direct" computation
    • means of substitution, differentiation or integration of related power series
  • find the area of a region bounded by the graph of a polar equation or parametric equations
  • find the lengths of curves in polar coordinates or in parametric form
  • solve first order differential equations by the method of separation of variables; apply to growth and decay problems
Means of Assessment

Evaluation will be carried out in accordance with ÁñÁ«ÊÓƵ policy.  The instructor will present a written course outline with specific evaluation criteria at the beginning of the semester.  Evaluation will be based on the following criteria:

Weekly quizzes 0-40%
Tests 20-70%
Assignments 0-15%
Attendance 0-5%
Class participation 0-5%
Tutorials 0-10%
Final examination 30-40%

Note:  All sections of a course with a common final examination will have the same weight given to that examination.
