Brooks/Cole, Cengage Learning (publisher)
INTRODUCTION: SLCC is committed to fostering and assessing the following
student learning outcomes in its programs and courses:
o Acquiring substantive knowledge in the field of their choice
o Developing quantitative literacies
o Developing the knowledge and skills to be civically engaged
o Thinking critically
o Communicating effectively
MATH DEPARTMENT WEBPAGE: The SLCC Math homepage is located at:
http://www.slcc.edu/math/
This site contains many resources for students including tips for student success,
Department policies, and final exam information.
PREREQUISITES: Completion of College Algebra (MATH 1050) and Trigonometry
(MATH 1060) with a grade of C or better and with Math 1060 completed within the last
year; or Precalculus (Math 1080) with a grade of C or better; or the appropriate Accuplacer
score.
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Calculus I is an introduction to the basic concepts of
Differential Calculus. The following topics are included: limits, the rate of change of a
function, the definition of the derivative, derivatives of transcendental functions, the chain
rule, implicit differentiation, related rates of change, optimization, Newtons Method,
graphing functions using derivatives, LHopitals Rule, and applications of the derivative in
the physical sciences. Basic concepts of Integral Calculus will also be introduced,
including definite and indefinite integrals, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, the
substitution technique of integration, and finding areas between curves.
COURSE OBJECTIVES: At the conclusion of the course, the student will be able to:
Demonstrate a mastery of the above listed concepts and related skills
Organize thoughts and communicate mathematics both orally and in writing
including proofs of mathematical theorems
Model real world problems using average rates of change, derivatives and integrals

If you would like to start your ePortfolio in a computer lab with a person there to help
you, sign up online for one of the free workshops at the Taylorsville-Redwood library:
http://libweb.slcc.edu/services/forms/eportfolio. You may also visit an ePortfolio Lab (in
the Taylorsville-Redwood Library LIB 047 as well as in HTC 102a on the Jordan
Campus) during business hours, and staff will help you without an appointment. Finally,
questions regarding the ePortfolio can be directed to eportfolio@slcc.edu.
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES:
Course Schedule: A weekly schedule for the course is provided. This schedule
will be followed as closely as possible. However, some modifications may be
necessary. Please see the schedule for important dates.
Attendance: Class attendance is expected. It will be your responsibility to learn
any information you miss due to lack of attendance. You will be held responsible
for announcements made in class. You will not be allowed to make up in-class
projects or group exercises completed during class time.
Homework: Your instructor will post a list of homework exercises assigned from the
text and/or assign online homework. These homework exercises are the required
minimum for you to demonstrate the learning objectives of the course and the mastery of
the course concepts. You are encouraged to work more exercises than those assigned.
Regular practice is essential in learning mathematics. You should be prepared to spend at
least two hours studying outside of the class for each hour you spend in class. Many
students find that much, much, more time is required in order to perform as well as they
desire on exams. Details of how and when homework is due will be discussed in class.
