Course Learning Outcomes

This survey will provide students with a review of selected calculus and post-calculus topics including: single and multiple variable derivatives and integrals, series and sequences, and topics in vector calculus.

This course will also provide students with basic knowledge of ordinary differential equations, linear transformations, and complex numbers.

This course will also review topics in Linear Algebra including: eigenvectors and eigenvalues and diagonalizing matrices.

Students should be familiar with these topics and able to solve standard problem sets.  Students will also be able to apply these selected math techniques to problem sets within their individual curricula.
