Calculus I is the first course in a sequence of calculus and analytical geometry courses. The course introduces students to the concept of the derivative and its applications.
Students will explore limits, continuity, and differentiation techniques, and apply derivatives to analyze rates of change, motion, optimization, and graph behavior. Emphasis is placed on problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and preparing students for advanced coursework in mathematics, science, engineering, and related fields.
Students choosing to take the course for college credit must apply to Crowder College and enroll in the course through both Crowder College and the high school. Students are financially responsible for any course fees incurred for taking the course for college credit.
Students must have completed Dual Credit Crowder College Algebra for Calculus to enroll.
This course only satisfies half of the required half credit requirements for a student’s junior or senior year. The student can pair this course with another dual credit math course to fulfill high school graduation requirements.
