MATH 265B

Analytic Geometry and Calculus


5.0 hours leacture per week.
Associate Degree Applicable.
Prerequisite: MATH 265A or equivalent with a grade of C or better.
NOTE: If you are transferring from a college on the quarter system the prerequisite for MATH 265B is two quarters of Calculus. From Cal Poly it is MATH 142 with a grade of C or better.

Presents a continuing study on integration, some first and second order differential equations, Taylor and Fourier series, multiple variable functions, vectors, and their applications. Every topic will be taught geometrically, numerically, and algebraically.
Transfer: CSU; UC
