    Description
    A second course in Calculus, the study of accumulation-techniques of integration in single and multi variables with applications to economics, business, life and social sciences. Other extensions of Calculus to higher dimensions with the study of functions of several variables, applications of partial differentiation and maxima/minima problems. Applications of differential equations and probability density functions. Optional topics such as infinite series, Taylor's Theorem and the calculus of trigonometric functions may be covered as time allows. This course is intended for Business and/or Biology majors who have successfully completed SBCC’s Math 130: Calculus for the Biological Sciences, Social Sciences, and Business I. Students in Math 131 will demonstrate their learning of course outcomes through multiple methods of assessment, including at least 3 hours of controlled assessments in the form of in-person proctored exams/project presentations and a cumulative in-person proctored final exam.
