Topics include the limit of a function, the derivative of algebraic, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions, and the definite integral and its basic applications to area problems. Applications of the derivative are covered in detail, including approximations of error using differentials, maximum and minimum problems, and curve sketching using calculus. Three lecture and two computer laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: “C” or higher in MH114 or the equivalent.
The Bachelor of Conservation and Field Biology (BA/BS) degree is for students who are fascinated by plant and animal life and would like to be able to work in the field. The UWA’s region is rich in biological diversity and provides many opportunities for employment in field biology.
