Math 218

The aim of Math 218 is to prepare students to succeed in calculus. In this scope, the course will focus on, pre-calculus, calculus and academic skills necessary for future success. Students will be introduced to the concepts of differential calculus with special emphasis on their respective applications in the engineering and technology fields.
