MATH 1020: Calculus I

Academic Calendar | Academic Catalog | Accreditation | Lecture Course Syllabus | Technical Requirements | Withdrawal/Refund Policy

Calculus I Course Overview

  • MATH 1020 is a four-credit calculus course that focuses on single variable calculus through graphical, analytical, and numerical techniques. Differentiation and its applications are thoroughly discussed. Basic integration techniques are introduced. Mathematical manipulation and computational competence is equally weighted with the ability to analyze, evaluate, synthesize and form accurate decisions using relevant information in applied settings.

    *This course is considered an upper-level undergraduate course (300 level or above)

Calculus I Course Outcomes

  • Apply the core concepts of differential and integral calculus to solve problems in Calculus 1:
    • Limits and Continuity: Graphical interpretation, numerical approximation, limit laws, Squeeze Theorem, Intermediate Value Theorem, tangent and velocity problems, L’Hopital’s rule
    • Derivatives: Formal definition of a derivative, Delta – Epsilon proofs, differentiation rules, trig formulas, chain, product and quotient rules, implicit and logarithmic differentiation
    • Applications of the derivative: Rates of change, related rates, Mean Value Theorem. curve sketching, local and absolute extrema, optimization, linear approximations, Newton’s method.
    • Integrals: Approximating areas, antidifferentiation, Riemann sums, Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, definite and indefinite integrals, substitution methods
    • Applications of Integration: Area under and between curves, volumes of revolutions, arc length, work, hydrostatic force, moments and centers of mass, exponential growth and decay models, hyperbolic functions
  • Utilize numerical, graphical, analytical and approximation models in pure and applied settings.
  • Develop visual literacy of mathematical concepts through graphical analysis.
  • Communicate mathematical concepts and apply complex symbolic representation in written, verbal, and technological settings.
  • Develop the ability to identify and apply multiple mathematical problem-solving techniques for a specific situation.
  • Gain introductory level knowledge appropriate to a single variable calculus course of  mathematical definitions and proofs of key theorems

Calculus I Course Prerequisites

  • One semester of college-level precalculus (MATH 1011)

*Please note these prerequisites are highly suggested and support course preparedness and success. We recommend having completed the listed prerequisites before enrolling and within the past seven years.

How do exams work?

All exams are taken online. Major exams are required to be proctored online through Honorlock. For instructions on how to take your exams online, visit UNE Online’s Honorlock page. Please note exams must also be proctored with the UNE-approved external webcam.
