MATH 1106
Course Description
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2020-2021.
The goal of this course is to give students a strong basis in some quantitative skills needed in the life and social sciences. There will be an emphasis on modeling, using fundamental concepts from calculus developed in the course, including: derivatives, integrals, and introductory differential equations. Examples from the life sciences are used throughout the course. To give a concrete example, we will study predator-prey populations. We will write down mathematical models that describe the evolution of these populations, analyze both quantitative and qualitative properties to make predictions about the future of these populations, and discuss the assumptions and limitations of the models. Note that while we will cover the topics of derivatives and integrals, this course has a different, much more applied, focus from courses such as MATH 1110 - Calculus I or a typical high school calculus course.
When Offered Spring.
Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: three years of high school mathematics (including trigonometry and logarithms) or a precalculus course (e.g., MATH 1101). No prior knowledge of calculus is required.
Forbidden Overlaps Forbidden Overlap: due to an overlap in content, students will not receive credit for both MATH 1106 and MATH 1110.
Distribution Category (MQR-AS, SMR-AS)
Comments Students who plan to take more than one semester of calculus should take MATH 1110 rather than MATH 1106. For guidance in selecting an appropriate course, please consult First Steps in Math.
Regular Academic Session. Choose one lecture and one discussion.
