This course emphasizes applications rather than theory. Students begin with a review of algebra, to ensure the necessary mathematical skills to succeed in the course, and before they are introduced to limits and continuity. Students then progress to differential and integral calculus for polynomial, exponential and logarithmic functions and their applications to curve sketching, maxima, and minima. Students apply these mathematical tools to a variety of 'real-world' problems, including medical issues, epidemics, carbon dating, memory and criminology. Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites for the course, but Pre-calculus 12 or MATH 1001, or MATH 0633, are recommended. Note: Students cannot get credit for more than one of MATH 1150, MATH 1130, MATH 1141, MATH 1140, MATH 1170.
