MAT 132: Calculus II
Fall 2008
Department of Mathematics
SUNY at Stony Brook
Welcome to Calculus II!
Calculus is the mathematics of change. It is not a mere abstraction,
but represents how the world actually works. Applications are found
wherever change and continuity are
studied in a precise way, and is vital to most areas of
engineering and the technical sciences, but is also important in
many areas of economics, business, architecture, and even occasionaly
in art and music. Seemingly more remote sciences as anthropology or
botany use calculus and other forms of mathematics (statistics, etc) in
subsidiary but important ways.
Course Content
We will study three main topics: integration (Ch 5, Ch 6), differential equations (Ch 7), and
infinite series (Ch 8). The ability to actually apply the
techniques of calculus is vitally important, so we will emphasize examples and applications.
Warning! This is a 4 credit course, and we will move quickly through a large amount
of material. There is a lot of homework, but because the course is fast-paced and difficult, it
is absolutely vital to keep up with it.
