STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES

 

At the successful completion of this course the student will be able to:

1

Use the concepts of definite integrals to solve problems involving area, volume, work, and other physical applications.

2

Use substitution, integration by parts, trigonometric substitution, partial fractions, and tables of anti-derivatives to evaluate definite and indefinite integrals.

3
