MAE 5162 Topics in Calculus Using Graphing Calculator
This course will investigate in depth topics from differential and integral calculus, using the T183 graphing calculator (Regular, Plus or Silver edition). The following topics will be covered: limits, continuity, definition of the derivative, shortcuts to the derivative, product, quotient and chain rules, derivatives of the transcendental functions, applications of the derivative, integration, the fundamental theorem of calculus and applications of the integral. Students will analyze difficulties and misconceptions often experienced by secondary calculus teachers and will examine applications that connect theory with examples relevant to secondary students.
