Course description: Techniques of integration, applications of integrals, improper integrals, sequences, infinite series, vector algebra and solid analytic geometry. Math 172 is the second of a three semester beginning calculus sequence, which is taken, for the most part, by math, chemistry, and physics majors. Designed to be more demanding than MATH 152. No credit will be given for more than one of MATH 148, MATH 152 and MATH 172. The priorities of this course are: 1. Ability to correctly solve problems, and write the solutions in a coherent fashion. 2. Conceptual understanding of material.
