III. Catalog Course Description

This is the second course in the calculus sequence. It covers techniques of integration, improper integrals, Simpson’s Rule, Trapezoid Rule, arc length, surface area, other applications of integration, direction (slope) fields, parametric equations, polar calculus, conic sections, infinite sequences and series, power series and Taylor’s formula.

IV. Student Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this course, a student will be able to:

• Apply techniques of integration to improper integrals, arc length, area of a surface revolution, and other real-world applications.
• Apply theirtrigonometric knowledge of parametric equations to polar calculus and conic sections. They will apply that knowledge to skill-based and real-world problems.
• Use sequences, series and techniques for determining convergence and divergence. They will apply those techniques to analyze and evaluate power, Taylor, and Maclaurin series representations.
