Elementary Analysis
Introduction to analytic geometry; limits; continuity;
differentiation of algebraic and trigonometric
functions; differentials; introduction to integration
and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus;
applications of the definite integrals and derivatives.
Upon completion of this course, the student will be
able to
demonstrate comprehension and
understanding in the topics of the course
through symbolic, numeric, and graphic
methods
demonstrate the use of proper mathematical
notation

the limitations of technology
work with others towards the completion of a
common goal
use deductive reasoning and critical thinking
to solve problems
Upon completion of this course, the student will be
able to

algebraic and trigonometric functions
determine where functions are continuous and
classify discontinuities as removable or nonremovable
find the derivative of a function using the limit
definition
apply the basic rules of differentiation to find
the derivatives of algebraic and trigonometric
functions
find higher order derivatives
use implicit differentiation
