Topics include continuous and discontinuous functions; analytic geometry; slope of a curve; rate of change of functions; limit theorems; derivations of algebraic, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and implicitly defined functions; the mean value theorem; curve sketching; optimization problems; Newton’s Method, anti-derivatives (fall)
