Math 112
Second Semester Calculus
(Warning: Students cannot receive credit for more than one of Math 112 or Math 132)
Description of the course
Concepts covered in this course include: methods of integration; applications of the integral to geometry, physics, and economics; slope fields and the qualitative behavior of solutions to differential equations; and Taylor series.
Successful completion of Math 112 is awarded 4 semester hours of credit. The lecture sections of the course meet 3 times a week for 50 minutes or twice a week for 80 minutes. The fourth hour is a required lab session in which students work through a lab lesson with assistance from a graduate student teaching assistant (TA). Students complete the related lab exercises outside of lab time and submit these to their TA for grading. These lab lessons and exercises are accessible using the Lab links below. The lab content complements the lectures and examines themes that run throughout the course. The lab component accounts for 15% of the course grade.
Textbook
- Single Variable Calculus with Early Transcendentals (9th edition), by James Stewart, published by Cengage. It is a available in the bookstore.

Calculators
- Students are encouraged to have a TI-83 or TI-84 graphing calculator for Math 111 and Math 112. Calculators are used only to complete select labs and homework.
- Students can expect to take most tests and quizzes and the final exam without a calculator.
Labs
Students will meet with a teaching assistant (TA) for the 4th hour of the course each week, beginning the first full week of classes.
Labs 0-10 are posted below. Lab 0 is a Calculus I review that should be completed after the first lecture and submitted at the first lab session for grading. The lab sessions do not convene until the first full week of classes.
