MATH 140
COURSE DESCRIPTION: (GQ) Calculus with Analytic Geometry I (4:4:0)
Derivatives, differentials, applications, integrals. Students may
take only one course for credit from among MATH 110, 140, 140A and
140B. During Spring and Fall semesters the course is offered in
60 fifty minute lectures, four per week; in the summer session it
is offered in 40 seventy-five minute lectures, five per week.
PREREQUISITES: MATH 022, 026; or MATH 040; or MATH 41; or
satisfactory performance on the mathematics (both algebra and
trigonometry) proficiency examination.
