Course description:
- This is Engineering Mathematics II , Credit 4. Math 152 is the second
of a three semester beginning calculus sequence,
which is taken by engineering majors. The department expects that students passing Math 152 will be able to set
up an appropriate definite integral to solve the applied problems (areas, volumes, arclength, work, and force)
discussed in the course. Students must understand the relationship between definite integrals and Riemann sums,
and be able to clearly state (write) this relationship. Regarding infinite series: students are expected to know
what an infinite series is, how to use the convergence tests, be able to clearly state them, and explain (prove)
why they work. Students are expected to know the alternating series test, including the error estimate for this
test and the error estimate from the integral test for positive term series. It is intended to cover the following
sections: 6.4-6.6 7.1-7.5, 8.1-8.4, 8.9, 9.3, 9.4, 10.1-10.9, 11.1 - 3, 13.4.
- Prerequisite for this class is MATH 151.
