Calculus II

Calculus II is a Natural Science course taught by David Kelly.

This course requires prerequisites.

Course Description
This course extends the concepts, techniques and applications of an introductory calculus course. We'll detect periodicity in noisy data, and study functions of several variables, integration, differential equations, and the approximation of functions by polynomials. We'll continue the analysis of dynamical systems taking models from ecology, economics, epidemiology, and physics. We will finish with an introduction to the theory and applications of Fourier series and harmonic analysis. Computers and numerical methods will be used throughout. Regular substantial problem sets will be assigned and will constitute the heart of each student's course work. Prequisite: Calculus in Context (or a Calculus I course).
