| M 408C | Differential and Integral Calculus | Online | $1,145.00 |
M 408C is UT's standard first-year calculus course. It is directed at students in the natural and social sciences and at engineering students. The emphasis in this course is on problem solving, not on the presentation of theoretical considerations. While the course necessarily includes some discussion of theoretical notions, its primary objective is not the production of theorem-provers. The syllabus for M408C includes most of the elementary topics in the theory of real-valued functions of a real variable: limits, continuity, derivatives, maxima and minima, integration, area under a curve, volumes of revolution, trigonometric, logarithmic and exponential functions and techniques of integration.

This course is independent study and is self-paced. Students have five months upon registration in which to complete all coursework and exams.
