## 01:640:151 - Calculus I for the Mathematical and Physical Sciences

Math 151–152 is the introductory year course in the calculus sequence in New Brunswick for majors in the mathematical sciences, the physical sciences, and engineering.

• The first semester, Math 151 or 153, presents the differential calculus of the elementary functions of a single real variable: the rational, trigonometric and exponential functions and their inverses; various applications via the Mean Value Theorem; and an introduction to the integral calculus.
• The second semester, Math 152, continues the study of the integral calculus, with applications, and covers the theory of infinite series and power series, touching on differential equations and a few other topics as well.

### Transitioning from Math 135 to Math 152:

Students who intend to go directly from Math 135 to Math 152 will need to fill in some gaps through self-study. Details are in the document: "Transferring From 135 to 152" .

### Textbook:

Jon Rogawski & Colin Adams, Calculus, Early Transcendentals, 3rd edition, plus WebAssign

Purchase options:

• Hardcover custom 3rd edition and WebAssign premium access code (for the duration of the 3rd edition).
ISBN 978-1-319-04853-2
NJ Books: $$125.00. • E-book custom 3rd edition and WebAssign premium access code (for the duration of the 3rd edition) ISBN 978-1-319-04911-9 NJ Books:$$107.50

The 3rd edition is purchased with a WebAssign access code which will be used throughout the sequence 151-152-251. The publisher is unable to replace this code if it is lost, so be careful to retain it. (The third edition was introduced beginning in Fall 2015.)

### Math 153

Math 153 is an intensive form of Math 151 with an extra meeting time, covering the same syllabus. Most of the information given here for Math 151 applies to Math 153 as well.

### Math 135

The calculus sequence for most business, economics, and life science majors is 135 followed by 136 or 138. Any students planning to continue the study of mathematics beyond two semesters will need the sequence beginning with 151 and 152.

### Math 151-152 in Summer Session

Math 151 and Math 152 have the same content and essentially the same format during summer session as during the fall or spring semesters. Workshops are part of these courses at any time of year, though during the summer there is no TA or peer mentor.

The summer versions of Math 151 and Math 152 do not have a common final exam, and instead each section has a final written by its own instructor. The links below to materials from previous semesters may be helpful in preparing for these exams.
