Applications of integration: length, area, and volume. Basic physics applications. (Chapter 5)
Special functions: logarithmic, exponential, inverse trigonometric functions. (Chapter 6)
Techniques of integration: integration by parts, partial fractions, substitution etc. (Chapter 7)

Exams: We will have an in-class midterm on May 3rd. The final exam is on Monday, June 6, 3-6 p.m. No make-up exams will be given. If, under completely exceptional circumstances, you need to miss the midterm, the weight of the final will be adjusted accordingly. If you miss the final, you automatically fail the course.
