credits

Average Course Rating

(3.87)

Differential and integral calculus. Includes analytic geometry, functions, limits, integrals and derivatives, polar coordinates, parametric equations, Taylor's theorem and applications, infinite sequences and series. Some applications to the physical sciences and engineering will be discussed, and the courses are designed to meet the needs of students in these disciplines. Recommended Course Background: Grade of C- or Better in AS.110.106 or AS.110.108, or a 5 on the AP AB exam.

Fall 2012

Professor: Chikako Mese

(3.72)

The best aspect of this course was the professor, who was effective in teaching the difficult calculus material, and was always willing to answer questions about the problems. The class lectures adhered to the textbook material and the exams were straightforward. The worst aspects of this course included the heavy workload, lengthy exams, and time-consuming homework assignments. The professor was sometimes disorganized when doing example problems and would confuse students in this already fast paced course. The course would improve if more review problems were provided for students, and if the lessons focused on the more difficult concepts at a slower pace. Prospective students should prepare to be chal enged in this course that requires some serious study and time commitment. 200

Fall 2013

Professor: Maxin Arap

(4.34)

Students broadly praised this course for having engaging lectures taught by an “excel ent” instructor. Some students disliked that the lectures seemed to focus on going over example problems rather than explaining the theory. Suggestions for improvement included a general desire by students for more feedback, as well as a desire for more opportunity to walkthrough problems in class. Prospective students should know that students found the course chal enging but manageable if homework and studying was promptly tackled.

Fall 2014

Professor: Jesus Martinez Garcia

(3.11)

Students praised this course for covering thought-provoking and challenging material. Perceived issues with the course largely centered on the instructor’s teaching style with multiple students finding it wasn’t effective and was at times confusing and disorganized. Suggestions for improvement varied; some students thought the course could be improved if the instructor went over more example problems in class or if he spent more time explaining theorems rather than just working through proofs. Prospective students should know that students found it important to be able to teach oneself and do practice problems in this course. 216

Spring 2013

Professor: Maxim Arap

(4.08)

The best aspect of the course included the passionate professor who was very good at presenting the information in a clear and effective manner. The worst aspects of the course included the fast pace in which the class went, and the heavy loads of homework. There was a lot of information covered in the class and students found the material very difficult. The course would improve if the homework assignments were as difficult as the exams so that students could have a chance to grapple with the more difficult material beforehand. Prospective students should be sure to set apart lots of time to study the material and ensure they do practice problems in this challenging Calculus course.

Spring 2014

Professor: MATHEMATICS

(4.29)

The best aspect of this course was the kind and wel -seasoned professor. Many students agreed that his teaching style was very clear and he provided ample time for problem practice. The exams were also straightforward and reflected homework assignments. The amount of homework was fair and the course provided students with an understanding of Calculus II. The worst aspect seemed to be the amount of homework. It was suggested by students that the number of topics covered be reduced so that there can be more focus on mastering each one. Prospective students should have solid math skil s because the course requires knowledge of linear algebra, statistics, and probability.

Spring 2015

Professor: Nishanth Gudapati

(3.48)

The best aspects of the class included the interesting and applicable material, and the professor who was invested in students’ success. Students appreciated the professor’s thorough and effective lectures, as well as the homework assignments and exams that mirrored the material covered in class. Many students found homework to be time consuming and occasional y tedious. Suggestions for improvement included having more examples during class, and covering applications to physics more explicitly. Prospective students should know that PILOT and Khan Academy are helpful.
