Calculus for Engineers and Scientists

Calculus for Engineers and Scientists


This rigorous course is for the serious student who has demonstrated success in Trigonometry and Algebra II. Employing a “problem-based classroom” teaching approach, the instructor will review the lecture material and discuss its practical relevance for the first 30 minutes, then proceed to engage the students while they solve many sets of practice problems for the remaining time in the class. The course is administered over five Saturdays from 9 AM to 12 PM on the campus of Oakland University. Student success will be heavily dependent upon their commitment to excellence while in class and their ability to view a 30 minute video (from home, school or library) during the week prior to the Saturday class. The admissions process, which is highly selective, involves consideration of math GPA and teacher recommendations. Nearly the full breadth of a typical college-level Calculus I course is treated, however the depth of coverage is limited in order to accommodate time constraints
