Math 114 -- Introductory Integral Calculus 

This half-semester course gives an introduction to the theory and applications of definite and indefinite integrals in single-variable calculus. Analytic and numerical techniques for computing integrals are presented.

By the end of Math 113-Math 114, students will have seen a rough equivalent of the AB Calculus Advanced Placement syllabus, although perhaps with more conceptual emphasis than found in a typical AB calculus course in high school. Thus, Math 114 may be a good starting point for students whose high school background includes an introduction to calculus, but who have not yet mastered the equivalent of the full AB Calculus Advanced Placement exam.

(NOTE: Since Math 114 is a half-semester course, you will probably want to pair it with another half-semester course, Math 115 or Math 116, that follows Math 114).

Prerequisites: Math 113 or placement

Who should take this course?
Students with a good background in limits and derivatives, but who have not yet seen or mastered integration
Students considering a major in any natural science or social science major, or anyone else who wants a solid foundation in calculus


Topics covered:
Definition of definite and indefinite integrals
Techniques of integration: substitution, integration by parts
Evaluation of integrals numerically or using a computer
Applications in geometry, physics, etc.
