Course Description
This is not a typical calculus course. Roughly composed of three
disparate parts, this course will address convergence of sequences and
series, solutions of ordinary differential equations, and multivariable
calculus. Each of these topics is broadly applicable within the
sciences, from physics to sociology. The department's syllabus
can be found here.
My syllabus can be found here.
