General Education Learning Outcomes (TBR Approved)

Apply mathematical principles or basic statistical reasoning to solve conceptual or applied problems and determine if solutions are reasonable.
Communicate mathematical concepts using appropriate terminology and symbolic language.
Analyze the behavior of, and solve, real-world problems relating mathematics to other disciplines.
Use appropriate technology to analyze data and graphs, as well as model real-world behavior.

Student Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

Demonstrate the ability to work with the algebra of functions and use these techniques to solve problems that are applicable to life and to other disciplines.
Identify and apply the behavior of functions as they approach critical values. The student will use the behavior of functions to find critical values such as local extrema, inflection points, and absolute maxima.
Demonstrate the ability to differentiate functions and use derivatives in solving problems.
Demonstrate the ability to integrate functions and to use integration to solve problems.
