MTH 141

### Textbook

Calculus: Early Transcendentals (9th edition (8th edition should work fine)) by James Stewart.

An older edition will suffice for the most part; there will just be minor differences in page and problem numbers.

### Course Description

Math 142 continues the development of the calculus started in Math 141. We will start where Math 141 left off by discussing applications of first and second derivatives to curve sketching, followed by optimization word problems. We will then discuss integral calculus, which is an important tool for applications to all parts of the natural sciences, engineering and economics. The basic concept of an integral will be introduced and used to find areas, volumes, work, average values, and arc length.

We will also cover techniques of integration, such as u-substitution, integration by parts, trigonometric substitution, the method of partial fractions, and improper integrals. Throughout the course, applications of these techniques to problems from other disciplines will be discussed. For more information, see the course catalog.
