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.
