    Description
    Cal-GETC Area 2 (Mathematical Concepts) This course is designed for STEM majors and provides a modern treatment of mathematical concepts and methods needed for success in the calculus sequence and beyond. Topics include the theory of approximation, the theory of functions, algebro-geometric analysis, polynomials, rational functions and asymptotic analysis, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometry, and the fundamentals of series. Students will learn about the relevance, utility, and limitations of modern computational resources for mathematical analysis while exploring the topics above. The techniques and practices investigated in the course will be motivated by contemporary interpretations and implementations of mathematical theory in STEM fields.
