MATH 0230: Analytic Geometry and Calculus 2

Student Guidelines and Syllabus – Spring 2026

About the Course

This is the second in a sequence of three calculus courses for science and engineering students. The goal is to prepare you to make use of calculus as a practical problem-solving tool.

Course Essentials

This program provides discounted access to the digital version of the textbook and the publisher’s WebAssign content, but only the textbook itself is required.

If you already have a copy of the textbook or prefer to purchase it elsewhere, you should opt out of Inclusive Access via the “RedShelf Inclusive Access” link in Canvas.

Labs and Online Homework

One session each week will meet in the Scientific Computing Lab in Posvar Hall (WWPH 1200A). This session may be used to work on graded online homework found on the LON-CAPA system or other problem sets.

You may not complete all work during the scheduled lab sessions and are expected to finish remaining work independently outside of class.
