This is the second semester of the mathematics core curriculum. It provides a foundation for the continued study of mathematics and for the subsequent study of the physical sciences, the social sciences, and engineering. MA104 covers topics in single variable differential and integral calculus, parametric equations, 3-dimensional geometry, and vectors. Throughout the course, mathematical models motivate the study of topics such as optimization, accumulation, change in one variable, motion in space, and other topics from the natural, social, and decision sciences. An understanding of course material is enhanced through the use of computer algebra systems.
