The diagram illustrates the local accuracy of the tangent line approximation to a smooth curve, or--otherwise stated--the closeness of the differential of a function to the difference of function values due to a small increment of the independent variable.

This course covers the prerequisite undergraduate level mathematics needed for the program. While this course sequence is not required of all MFM students, we may request that some MFM students include it in their plan.

This course sequence may be taken at any time.

NOTE: This course sequence assumes a knowledge of freshman calculus. If you are not comfortable with differential and integral calculus in one variable, you should take MATH 1271 and MATH 1272 as preparation. (Incidentally, both MATH 1271 and MATH 1272 are offered in the evening, for your convenience, by the College of Continuing Education.)
