The second half of this course covers series and sequences, Taylor Polynomials, threedimensional geometry. The course meets twice per week in lecture and twice per week in recitation.At the end of the course, students should be able to:• Apply the most important techniques of integration and different strategies to a variety of geometrical,physical and engineering applications.• Understand and use basic concepts of convergence of infinite sequences and series.• Apply power series to a variety of applications.• Understand and apply vector operations in 3-dimensional coordinate system, including dot and crossproduct.• Use Matlab to solve non-routine problems or that are too difficult to solve by hand.Weekly Schedule: The (tentative) weekly schedule is posted on the MATH 152 course homepage athttp://www.math.tamu.edu/courses/math152/currentsched.htmlRecitations and Matlab: The course meets twice per week in lecture and twice per week in recitation.
