Course Description:
Math 170 Analytic Geometry and Calculus I (4 cr). This course is the first part of a three-part Calculus series.  Among other things, this first semester covers limits, continuity, differentiation and integration of functions, and applications of both differentiation and integration. Primarily for students in engineering, mathematics, science or computer science.

Prerequisites:  

One of the following: a) Math 143 and Math 144, b) Math 143 and sufficiently high score on COMPASS Trig Test, or c) 2 yrs high school algebra and 1 yr plane geometry and ½ yr analytic trigonometry and sufficiently high score on SAT, ACT, or COMPASS Math Tests (College Algebra and Trigonometry). (Concurrent enrollment in 170 and 144 is permitted with permission of the department).
