Course Syllabus

EXAM 1 - Techniques of Integration
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2026, 10am - 12:15pm
AUDITORIUM, Rm 21 in the BCC Main Building basement!

Preparation for the Course

The prerequisite for this course is Calculus I - Differential Calculus. Students are expected to know all of the techniques of differentiation and have been introduced to the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

Like Calculus I, Calculus II requires solid algebra and trigonometry skills. Students really need to be comfortable with simplifying algebraic expressions involving rational expressions, radical expressions, and exponential and logarithmic expressions. In Calculus II, students also need to be comfortable using fundamental trigonometric identities to simplify and/or transform trigonometric expressions.

If it has been awhile since you have taken Calculus I or any math course, I strongly recommend you review Chapter 1 (pre-calculus review), Appendix D (trigonometry review), and Chapter 3 (Derivatives) of the textbook. We will begin this course with a brief review of Chapter 5.

Navigation Through the Course
Please read the syllabus to learn about required materials, grading policies, and student expectations.

The Modules section will guide you through the content of the course and help you with time management.

The Assignments section will help focus your list of responsibilities for the course and also help you with time management.

The Announcements section will help you stay informed about modifications to the course as we go along.

Time Management
This is a rather intense 5-unit mathematics course. To fully commit to and succeed in this course, you should dedicate at least 15 hours per week to read, study, and do the assignments. The more time you spend practicing, the more you will learn and understand.

If you are serious about pursuing a career in mathematics, science, technology, or business, please fully commit to this course. It will help you beyond measure.

I hope you enjoy it!
