Math - Dual Enrollment

Students will be presented with concepts of limits, derivatives, differentiation of various types of functions and uses of differentiation rules, application of differentiation, antiderivatives, integrals, and applications of integration. The purpose of this course is to prepare students for further study in calculus with analytical geometry by providing students with the necessary competencies in finding limits, differentiation, and integration. Successful completion of this course equates to MTH 263 Calculus I (4 credits) at NOVA.

Multivariable Calculus (DE) focuses on extending the concepts of function, limit, continuity, derivative, integral and vector from the plane to the three-dimensional space. Topics will include vector functions, multivariate functions, partial derivatives, multiple integrals, and an introduction to vector calculus. The general purpose of this courses is to prepare students for further studies in mathematics, engineering, and science programs by providing the necessary competencies in calculus concepts in the three dimensional space. Successful completion of this course equates to MTH 265 Calculus III (4 credits) at NOVA.

Students will complete MTH 161 Precalculus I in the Fall and MTH 162 Precalculus in the Spring. In MTH 161 students will be presented with topics in power, polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions, and system of equations and inequalities. Students must pass MTH 161 with a grade of C or better to move on to MTH 162. In MTH 162 students are presented with trigonometry, trigonometric applications including the Law of Sines and Cosines, and an introduction to conics. The purpose of the two courses is to prepare students for the skills and level of rigor needed for successful study in calculus with analytic geometry. Successful completion of this course equates to MTH 161 Precalculus I (4 credits) and MTH 162 Precalculus II (4 credits) at NOVA.
