Course Info for MAT225 - CALCULUS II
This course is a continuation of MAT224. Course topics include applications of integration, transcendental functions, techniques of integration, polar coordinates, infinite series including the Taylor Series and some differential equations. The use of a graphing calculator is required for this course to further the exploration of these topics and their applications. Near the end of the course, students will complete a comprehensive, departmental final exam.
This course meets the SUNY General Education course requirements for the Mathematics Knowledge and Skill area.
PREREQUISITE: MAT224 Calculus I or equivalent, or placement; placement into ENG101 and college-level reading, or completion of ENG101S and RDG095.
