INTRODUCTION TO CALCULUS (4) Breiner Mese
Limit 25 per section This course starts from scratch and provides students with all
the background necessary for the study of calculus. It includes
a review of algebra, trigonometry, exponential and logarithmic
functions, coordinates and graphs. Each of these tools will be
introduced in its cultural and historical context. The concept
of the rate of change of a function will be introduced. Not open
to students who have studied calculus in high school. |

the AP Calculus BC exam, or an “A” in 110.106 or 110.108 This
is an honors alternative to 107 or 109 and meets general requirement
for Calc. II. It is a more theoretical treatment of one variable
integral calculus and is based on our modern understanding of
the real number system as explained by Cantor, Dedekind,
and Weierstrass. Rewarding to those who want to know the “why’s
and how’s” of Calculus. Must already understand differential calculus
(derivatives, differentiation, chain rule, optimization, related
rates, etc.). Will learn about the theory of integration, the
fundamental theorem(s) of Calculus, applications of integration,
and Taylor series. |

with mathematical thinking is assumed. This
is a course in formal mathematical logic. Techniques and strategies
of proof, and study symbolic mathematical logic and formal logical
reasoning will be learned. The process of building mathematics

We will consider in some detail successful cases of mathematical
modeling taken from the biological literature, such as segmentation
in fruit flies, the clock and wave model for the development of
the spinal column of vertebrates, computer simulation of the shoot
apical meristem in botany, and algebraic
models for DNA sequence and its possible application to immunology.
The goal is to find common mathematical themes applicable across
a wide spectrum of living systems.

The calculus of variations is concerned
with finding optimal solutions (shapes, functions, etc.) where
optimality is measured by minimizing a functional (usually an
integral involving the unknown functions) possibly with constraints.
This introductory (self-contained) course,
will cover one dimensional (often geometric) problems: brachistochrone, geodesics, minimum surface area of revolution,
isoperimetric problem, curvature flows. The course in a
seminar style with active participation required. Additional material
as required (some differential geometry of curves and surfaces)
to hold prerequisites to a minimum. |
