Text: Calculus for the Life Sciences2nd ed.by Greenwell, Ritchey, Lial, e-book custom edition(ISBN 9781323492109). If you already purchased an access code for this text for either Math 1050, Math 1085, or Math 2040, then you do not to need purchase anything. Otherwise, you can purchase the MyMathLab access code (which includes the e-text) at the bookstore, the BookMart, orat <Direct students to the flyer on how to register at MyMathLab, for example on Moodle or include it in the syllabus.>
Math 2050Prerequisites: Math 2040 with minimum grade of C. Students with a grade of less than B- in Math 2050must enroll concurrently in Math 2051.Intended for Life Sciences majors.
Math 2050Catalog course description: Integration methods, definite and indefinite integrals, numerical, graphical and exact methods for solving basic differential equations, analysis of stability of equilibria of systems, with a focus on applications in biology.
Topical outline:
The following topics will be covered with a focus on their applications in biology:
Definite and indefinite integrals, Riemann sums, methods of integration (substitution, by parts),applications of integrals (area, average, mass), improper integrals (application: probability density function),equilibria and graphical display of autonomous differential equations,stability of equilibria,solutions of autonomous and separable differential equations, solutions to linear and non-linear systems of differential equations, functions of two variables, and partial derivatives.
Student Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of this course, students will be:
- able to determine which method to apply to solve an integration problem
- able to understand the derivation of the integral as a limit of Riemann sums
- able to use integration to solve problems involving area, average, and mass
- able to compute equilibria for models and determine their stability with appropriate methods
- familiar with basic terminology of differential equations
- able to solve an autonomous differential equation
- able to use graphical and numerical methods to solve more complicated differential equations
- familiar with some classic difference and differential equation models

Emergency preparedness:
The meeting point for Salazar Hall is in the parking lot at the bottom of the ramp. In an emergency, leave the building using staircases (and in an earthquake, wait to do so until the shaking has stopped). Move quickly to the meeting point and follow the instruction of the building coordinators. Make sure to check in with me so I know that you are accounted for. If one of your classmates needs help in evacuating, please assist. If you know that you will need assistance in an emergency and it is not obvious that this is the case, please see me so I can be aware of your need for assistance.
ADA statement: Reasonable accommodation will be provided to any student who is registered with the Office of Students with Disabilities and requests needed accommodation.
Academic honesty statement: Students are expected to do their own work. Copying the work of others, cheating on exams, and similar violations will be reported to the University Discipline Officer, who has the authority to take disciplinary actions against students who violate the standards of academic honesty.
Student responsibilities: Students are responsible for being aware of all announcements that are made in class, such as changes in exam dates, due dates of homework and papers, and cancellation of class due to instructor’s absence. Students are responsible for announcements made on days that they are absent.Students must check their CSULA email account regularly for information from the instructor and the Department. Failure to do so may result in missed deadlines or other consequences that might adversely affect students. Note that you can forward this email account to any other account of your choosing.
