MATH141 is a first semester in Calculus. The topics covered are functions and limits, differentiation, and applications of differentiation. Not open to students who are taking any other calculus course or have received credit, including transfer credit or advanced placement credit, for any calculus course. Students who fail or withdraw from this course multiple times may be prohibited from majoring in the sciences or mathematics; see the bulletin language for your major.This course satisfies the Mathematical and Quantitative Reasoning (MQR) requirement of the Pathways General Education Required Core All MQR courses must satisfy the following learning outcomes: MQR 1: Interpret and draw appropriate inferences from quantitative representations, such as formulas, graphs, or tables. MQR 2: Use algebraic, numerical, graphical, or statistical methods to draw accurate conclusions and solve mathematical problems. MQR 3: Represent quantitative problems expressed in natural language in a suitable mathematical format. MQR 4: Effectively communicate quantitative analysis or solutions to mathematical problems in written or oral form. MQR 5: Evaluate solutions to problems for reasonableness using a variety of means, including informed estimation. MQR 6: Apply mathematical methods to problems in other fields of study.
