Calculus for Biological Sciences, Social Sciences and Business I

Prerequisite: College algebra or equivalent or SBCC's Assessment Center placement via multiple measures.Concurrent Corequisite: MATH 130C based on SBCC's Assessment Center placement via multiple measures.A first course in Calculus, the study of change-how to measure, model, and predict changes in quantities we observe in our universe. An investigation of functions, relations, and mathematical models arising in business, biological sciences, and social sciences, through the concepts of limit, differentiation, and integration. Applications of the derivative such as linear approximation, related rates, and optimization. Applications of integration such as area, and total change. Understanding the connection between differential calculus/rate of change and integral calculus/accumulation through the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. This course is intended for Business and/or Biology majors who have successfully completed precalculus in high school, or SBCC's Math 137:College Algebra, or the equivalent. Students enrolling in Math 130 are eligible to concurrently enroll in Math 130C: Support for Calculus for the Biological Sciences, Social Sciences, and Business I; students with limited experience with college algebra/precalculus are especially encouraged, or may be required to do so. Students in Math 130 will demonstrate their learning of course outcomes through multiple methods of assessment, including at least 5 hours of controlled assessments in the form of in-person proctored exams/project presentations and a cumulative in-person proctored final exam.Hours: 90 (90 lecture)Transfer Information: C-ID (MATH 140.), CSUGE Area B4, IGETC Area 2A, CSU Transferable, UC Transferable (MATH 130 and MATH 150 combined: maximum credit, one course.)SBCC General Education: SBCCGE Area D2, SBCCGE Area E1Grading Options: Pass/No Pass or Standard Letter
