<p> SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY 1818 Advanced College Credit Program Calculus I MT-A142 (4 hours credit)</p><p>Ste. Genevieve High School Calculus Syllabus Fall & Spring Semesters</p><p>There is no quicker way of developing mathematical power and maturity than by doing problems --- not routine exercises, in which you substitute numbers in some formula, or mimic some worked-out example in a book, of differentiate yet another function, but problems where you must apply what you know but do not know in advance how it will be applied. There is no growth in repeating exercises, but there is growth in looking at a problem of a sort never before seen and asking what ideas could possibly be applied to it, then trying to apply them. It is in considering problems that mathematicians, and mathematics, develop. Of course, there is no growth without some pain, error, and frustration, and there will be many problems --- perhaps most --- which will defeat you. But that is the way of it: no matter how good you are, there will be problems you cannot solve; and no matter how bad you are, there will be problems that are simple for you. </p><p>Instructor: D. Engelmann [email protected]</p><p>Text Information: CALCULUS of a Single Variable Fifth Edition Larson, Hostetler, Edwards</p><p>Course Objective: This course will cover the following topics: limits, applications of differentiation, applications of integration, and exponential and logarithmic functions. Graphing calculators will be used when applicable. The focus of this course will be the theoretical aspect of calculus with some applications.</p><p>Significant Learning Activities: There will be three Skill Exit Exams per Semester. You must earn an eight or better out of ten to pass the Skill Exit Exam, otherwise you will need to reschedule to take the exam again. You will be given three attempts to pass the Skill Exit Exam. Each Skill Exam Exit will be evaluated on correct answer only.
