Course Description
Continuation of MTH 131. Topics related to trigonometric functions, integration by parts and partial fractions, partial derivatives, infinite series. Applications to problems such as optimization, probability theory, simple differential equations.

Course Goals
MTH 132 is the second semester of the calculus sequence for students not needing MTH 141 and 142 (which are designed for students in the physical sciences, engineering, and math). After taking MTH 131-132, students will be familiar with and able to apply the theory and techniques of calculus in numerical, graphical, and algebraic contexts. Primarily through their textbook, they will have been exposed to examples that illustrate how calculus is involved in real-life settings.

Required Materials
Text Picture

Applied Calculus (5th edition) by Hughes-Hallett et al. Access to a digital copy is available with your purchase of access to WileyPLUS (see below); for this reason purchasing a hard copy is optional, but all students should have access to the text by the second class period. New copies of the textbook purchased from the university bookstore come with an access code for WileyPLUS included.


A subscription to WileyPLUS (www.wileyplus.com). This is the source for all homework assignments for the course (which are to be completed online) and has other useful features. If you have used WileyPLUS in the past, you may be able to use your previous subscription; try this first before resubscribing.
