Course Title

Elements of Calculus

Course Description

A one-semester survey of calculus. Topics include limits, derivatives and the integral, with emphasis on applications in the life sciences and finance. Note that the prerequisite for MA-160 is MA-150, so additional preparation (e.g. formal limits and more in-depth trigonometry) is strongly recommended for MA-130 students who subsequently decide to petition into MA-160.

At least high school algebra and trigonometry; preferably pre-calculus required. Students are required to complete the Calculus Placement Test (https://www.smcvt.edu/calculus-placement-test/) and review their results before registering for this course.

CORE: Quantitative Reasoning.

No credit given for MA-130 if credit has been given for MA-150, MA-160 or MA-211.
