Math 131 2019 Fall Course Web PrerequisitesHigh school algebra I and II, Trigonometry, Plan geometry and Pre-calculus (Analyticgeometry).DescriptionMath131 is the first in a three course Calculus sequence Math131–132–233 which covers basic concepts, methods, and applications suitable for majors inengineering, natural sciences, computer science, mathematics, etc. The emphasis is onproblem-solving instead of on proving theorems. Math 131 mainly studies derivativesof single-variable functions, covering these topics: limits, continuity, derivatives,implicit differentiation, related rates, maxima and minima, and an introduction todefinite integrals with applications to area.

Do assigned reading and complete online homework on time.3. Attend classes regularly including discussion sections, take in-class quizzes,and complete written assignment if there are any in your section.ExamsAll three exams are closed book; there is no calculator allowed in any exams; Examdates and materials covered are listed in the weekly schedule, which are the same for alllecture sections of the course. Your instructor will notify you the exam location of yoursection at least one week before the exam. For all of Exams, you should justifyyour answer with clear steps, answers without supporting work may receive 0 credit. Besure to bring your Umass student ID card and any other exam allowed supplies (likepens, penciles and erasers) when you attend the Exam. All of students must take theregular exam unless you are qualified to take an official make-up exam which has beenpermitted by your instructor, which follows procedure of make-up request.
