This course focuses on the application of concepts and methods of calculus to problems that arise for students who major in Business or Computer Science. The topics include differential and integral calculus; applying derivatives, differentials, and integrals to problem-solving; and maximizing and minimizing functions. A graphing calculator is required for this course.

TUTORING: If you are having trouble in this course, it is important that you seek help immediately. I would be more than happy to help you during office hours or during another scheduled time. I also encourage you to work together with other students in the class. There are tutors available in the Math Lab in Beekey 120 on a walk-in basis. The hours are posted on the door of the lab. There is also Peer Tutoring available through the Tutoring Office, 610-683-4207. Please do not hesitate to seek help when you need it!
In accordance with University policy, you are expected to attend all classes. Attendance will be taken at every class. In the event that your course grade falls on the borderline between two letter grades, I will use your attendance record to determine whether or not to assign the higher grade.
