• Webassign Access only (comes with etextbook): ISBN 13: 9780357128923

Access to WebAssign is required for the course, but not a printed text book.  If you purchase a used copy of the textbook, you will still have to purchase a WebAssign Access Code separately. 

Access to WebAssign can be purchased from the CMU Book Store or online with a credit card.

The specific access to the MA118 course will be available form the instructor the day the course opens.

The differentiation and integration of algebraic functions and transcendental functions of a single variable, and an introduction to analytic geometry.  Prerequisites: ACT math subscore ≥ 22 or having passed MA103 (or MA103I) with a C or above and having passed MA104 with a grade of C or better or by permission of Chair. Students having MA112 credit receive 3 hours for this course.

Upon successful completion of the course, each participant should be able to:

1. Evaluate the limit of selected algebraic and transcendental functions.
2. Determine the continuity of selected algebraic and transcendental functions.
3. Differentiate selected algebraic and transcendental functions by using the definition of the derivative and by using the power, product, quotient, and chain rules.
4. Graph functions and discuss the behavior of these functions by using the first and second derivatives and by using a graphing calculator.
5. Find the equations of tangent and normal lines to a function.
6. Use differentiation and/or the graphing capabilities of calculators to solve problems including max/min, motion, and related rates.
7. Evaluate selected definite integrals by use of summation techniques.
8. Evaluate selected definite integrals by applying the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
