MATH 182 Calculus II

This course is the second in a three-part calculus sequence. Applications include area bounded by curves, volume by rotating and slicing, arc length, work, and centers of mass. Integration techniques taught include integration by parts, partial fractions, trigonometric substitution, numerical integration, and improper integrals. Students will be introduced to hyperbolic functions, elementary differential equations, direction fields, and their applications. The study of sequences and infinite series will include tests for convergence of the various types of series, leading to power series and Taylor series. Students will also learn about parametric equations, Polar coordinates and their applications to calculus. The use of a graphing calculator will be an integral part of this course. A computer algebra system, such as MATLAB, will be introduced in this course.
