Syllabus and homework assignments: A weekly detailed syllabus is available here. The syllabus will be updated every week.

Week1: Intro and motivation.  Functions and their imverse: definition, domain, and range
Week2-3: Inverse Functions: definition, domain, and range with the connections of f to f^-1, sequences,
limits (definitions, techniques, and examples), and continuity (definitions, techniques, and examples), Logs and exponentials,
Week4-5: Limits as n,x-->infinity and applications to interest compounded continuously, horizontal and vertical asymptotes, indetermiminate limits, Properties of continuous functions, IVT and applications, the derivative (definition, slopes, and rates of change)
Week 6: Continuing rules and techniques of differentiation (Chain, the derivative of f^-1 from that of f and the log derivative, [f(x)]^g(x)).  Review for Test I.
week 7-8:  Optimization  (critical points and local optima, first and second derivative tests, and absolute optima).  Linear and higher order polynomial approximations
Week 9-12: Antiderivatives  (Precise definition),  Antiderivatives Rules (Anti-Chain, Anti-Power-Chain, Anti- product (integration by parts) and its quick version in special cases, antiderrivative of inverse trig functions, by trig substitution, and antiderivative by partial fractions.)
Week 13: Finishing off antiderivative by partial fractions, start Riemann Sums and definite integral, and review for test II.
