Calculus: A Classical Approach
MAT4288.01
Course Description
Summary
This course covers the breadth of university calculus: differentiation, integration, infinite series, and ordinary differential equations. It focuses on concepts and interconnections. In order to cover this much material, computational techniques are de-emphasized. The approach is historically based and classical, following original texts where possible. Further techniques and applications, which would normally be covered in a first calculus sequence, will appear in following mathematics courses, such as Differential Equations and Non-Linear Dynamical Systems, Ordinary Differential Equations, and Partial Differential Equations and Fourier Series. This is an advanced course; Calculus AP or IB cannot be used as substitutes for it. On the other hand, this is at the same time an introductory course on calculus: the course treats the concepts in a logically independent way, so if the other prerequisites are met, no prior experience with calculus is required.Prerequisites
One previous ¿ÐýÃŹÙÍø College mathematics course (MAT 2244 Quantitative Reasoning and Modeling is recommended), or permission of the instructor. For registration, email Andrew McIntyre at amcintyre@bennington.edu once 4000-level registration is open.
