### Course Description

Limits, continuity, derivatives, differentiation formulas, applications of derivatives, introduction to integration, fundamental theorem of calculus, inverse functions.

MAT 191 meets for five hours of lecture per week.

### Prerequisites

MAT 153 or equivalent with a grade of "C" or better.

### Objectives

After completing MAT 191 the student will be able to

• Demonstrate understanding of the four basic concepts of one-variable calculus; the limit, the concept of continuity, the derivative and the integral of a function of one variable
• Use the rules of differentiation to compute derivatives of algebraic and trigonometric functions
• Use derivatives to solve problems involving rates of change, tangent lines, velocity (speed), acceleration, optimization, and related rates.
• Investigate the graph of a function with the aid of its first and second derivatives: asymptotes, continuity, tangency, monotonicity, concavity, extrema, inflection points, etc.
• Demonstrate understanding of the meanings of the indefinite integral and the definite integral of a function of one variable, and their relationship to the derivative of a function via the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
• Use rules of integration including the Substitution Rule to evaluate indefinite and definite integrals
• Differentiate Exponential, Logarithmic, and Inverse Trigonometric Functions
• Use l'Hospital's Rule

### Expected outcomes

Students should be able to demonstrate through written assignments, tests, and/or oral presentations, that they have achieved the objectives of MAT 191.

### Method of Evaluating Outcomes

Evaluations are based on homework, class participation, short tests and scheduled examinations covering students' understanding of topics covered in MAT 191.
