Course Description

This is a continuation course of Calculus I. The course is divided into four parts, first we study applications of integrations such as finding the areas between curves and volume of surface of revolution using various methods. Then we study various topics of calculus such as LHopital rule, hyperbolic functions. The third part of the course is devoted for more integration techniques which include integration by parts, trignometric substitution, partial fraction decomposition, and improper integral. In the fourth part, we will study sequences and infinite series and their various tests to check their convergence and divergence. We study also power series and taylor series. Official topics include (from the catalog): Applications of definite integrals, including areas, volumes and surface areas of solids of revolution, arc length and centroids. Transcendental functions, indeterminate form and L'Hopital's Rule. Techniques of integration and improper integrals. Infinite series, power series. Maclaurin and Taylor Theorem.
