What is the difference between the IT calculus sequence (Math 1371, 1372, 2373, 2374) and the traditional calculus sequence (Math 1271, 1272, 2243, 2263)?
The IT calculus sequence (1371, etc.) consists of two lecture hours per week and three discussion hours. Homework is a major part of the final grade. You will have more time during discussions to go over problems and work collaboratively on homework with other students. An emphasis is placed on exploring math through graphing calculators and simulation programs such as Mathematica and MatLab. A block of seats is saved for IT students, giving them registration priority; however, students from other colleges are also allowed to enroll in this sequence. The traditional calculus sequence (1271, etc.) is open to IT students as well as to students from other colleges. It consists of three lecture hours each week and two discussion hours. Although completion of homework is critical to success in the course, it is a small portion of the final grade. During discussion hours you will take exams, and the teaching assistant will go over problems brought up by students. Both course sequences cover
