Math 122B - First Semester Calculus | The Department of Mathematics

Course Objectives

Math 122B is an introduction to first-semester calculus for engineering, science and math students, with an emphasis on understanding, problem solving, and modeling.

Use derivatives to analyze and graph algebraic and transcendental functions;
Select and apply models and differentiation techniques to applications involving, but not limited to, optimization and related rates;
Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to evaluate integrals;
Use estimation techniques to approximate rates of change, area, and total change.

Math 122B:

Math 122B is a 4-unit course that will run from September 18th through the end of the semester.
Students may opt to join a 1-unit supplemental instructions course, Math 196M, to practice the problem solving skills required of Calculus I.
