MATH 124 -- Calculus I with Applications (5 units)
Description: Introduction to calculus with an emphasis on understanding and problem solving. Concepts are presented graphically and numerically as well as algebraically. Elementary functions, their properties and uses in modeling; the key concepts of derivative and definite integral; techniques of differentiation, using the derivative to understand the behavior of functions; applications to optimization problems in physics, biology and economics. A graphing calculator is required in this course. Registration in math courses numbered 125 or below, 160, and 263, requires all students, including transfer students with or without college level math credit, to take the UA Math Readiness Test. Credit will not be given for this course if the student has credit in a higher level math course; these students will be dropped from the course. Students with unusual circumstances can petition the Mathematics Department for exemption from this rule. This policy does not infringe on the student's rights granted by the university policy on repeating a course.
Grading:Regular grades are awarded for this course: A B C D E.
