See MATH 1350 for calculus topics covered. Algebraic and elementary function topics are covered throughout, as needed. MATH 1310 and 1320 together are equivalent to MATH 1350. The sequence MATH 1310 - 1320 is designed for students whose manipulative skills in the techniques of high school algebra and precalculus may be inadequate for MATH 1350. Credit not granted for both this course and MATH 1350. This course is one of the means to satisfy the the LAS and Compass Curriculum Qualitative and Quantitative Reasoning requirements. Prer., MATH 1050 or MATH 1060 with a grade of "C" or better, or pass the Math Placement Test for MATH 1350.

• 3 Credits

Continuation of MATH 1310. See MATH 1350 for calculus topics covered. Algebraic and trigonometric topics are studied throughout, as needed. Credit not granted for both this course and MATH 1350. Prer., MATH 1310 with a grade of "C" or better.

• 3 Credits

A systematic introduction to calculus concepts useful in the life sciences, such as rates of change, limits, differentiation and integration, with emphasis on applications in the life sciences and the areas connected to modeling biological processes, such as differential equations and dynamical systems. Students may not take MATH 1330 and MATH 1350 and receive credit for both. Approved for Compass Curriculum requirement: Explore: Physical and Natural World. Prer., MATH 1050 or MATH 1060 with a grade of "C" or better, or pass the Math Placement Test for MATH 1330.
