NorthWest Arkansas Community College Fall 2006 Division of Science and Mathematics Course Outline
Course: Math 2043, Survey of Calculus Catalog Description: A survey and applications course in calculus designed for students in business, life sciences and social sciences. Topics include a brief algebra review, differentiation, curve sketching, exponential and logarithmic functions with applications, integration and, when time permits, multivariable calculus.
Prerequisite: Math 1204 with grade of C or better, or 24 on Math portion of the ACT, or 46 – 100 on the College Algebra portion of the Compass.
Credit/Contact/Load hours : 3 credit hours/ 3 contact hours/ 3 load hours
Target Audience and Transfer This course is targeted primarily to students in business and life or social sciences. It is required of some AAS and AS degrees as well as a variety of four-year programs. It transfers as 3 credit hours of business calculus.
G eneral Course Objectives Upon successful completion of this course students should exhibit mastery of certain knowledge and basic skills. These topics will include, but not be limited to:
Required Text: Brief Applied Calculus, 4th Edition. Berresford, Rockett. Houghton Mifflin, 2007

7.1 Functions of Several Variables 7.2 Partial Derivatives 7.3 Optimizing Functions of Several Variables 7.5 Lagrange Multipliers and Constrained Optimization
Note: A variety of application problems from each required topic should be assigned
Optional Sections 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 3.5, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.5, 7.4, 7.6, 7.
Required Instructional Activities
The content of the course should be taught with graphing calculators as an available tool when appropriate.
Required Forms of Assessment Each instructor must include a set of 9 departmental final exam questions on his or her final exam. These questions will be in direct support of the specific objectives stated in the Core Course Objectives, will be based on material covered in the Required Text Coverage section, and be similar to the questions on the Departmental Review Sheet for Survey of Calculus. These questions should be evenly weighted on the final and should compose at least 15% of the students’ overall grade in the course. The questions will be graded using a departmental grading rubric utilizing a 10-point scale per question. The results of these questions and overall student performance will be reported when final grades are turned in. Please note that the only resource other than a graphing calculator allowed for use by students during the final exam will be a departmental formula sheet for survey of calculus. It is also a departmental policy that no TI-89 or TI-92 or comparable calculators be allowed for use during the final exam.
