  10. Maximum and minimum values, and optimization
  11. Mean Value Theorem
  12. Antiderivatives and indefinite integrals
  13. Applications of integration to areas and volumes
  14. Definite integral; Riemann sum
  15. Properties of the integral

  17. Integration by substitution

Examples of Outside Assignments

1. Given a function, students will compute the limit of the function at a real number using numerical, algebraic, or graphical methods.
2. Given a linear function, students will use the precise definition of a limit to prove the limit of the function at a specific value.
3. Given a function, students will use techniques of differentiation to compute the first derivative and higher order derivatives of the function.
4. Students will solve related rates problems by constructing equations that will be differentiated with respect to time.
5. Students will solve optimization problems by using the first derivative to find critical points and by testing these critical points using either the first or second derivative.
6. Students will use u-substitution techniques to integrate a given function. The function could be polynomial, trigonometric, inverse, exponential, or logarithmic.
