Applied Calculus on the Web
Applied Calculus on the Web is a web-based supplement to an undergraduate Applied Calculus class. It
follows the same format as Finite Math on the Web. At many institutions, Finite Math and Applied
Calculus form the core of an undergraduate math curriculum for liberal arts and business majors. Our
goal is to provide supplementary instructional material to enable students to visualize basic mathematical
concepts such as sets, probability, and statistics in Finite Math, and limits, derivatives, and curve
sketching in Applied Calculus.
The final form of Applied Calculus on the Web will include ten web-based modules that cover the topics
typically found in an Applied Calculus class. The web-based material will be delivered through a thirdparty
courseware product called Brooks-Cole Assessment, which can be found at
http://bca.brookscole.com. In addition to the modules, there is an accompanying workbook with
additional activities, sample quizzes and supplemental problems. Included with the workbook will be a
student CD containing detailed solutions and streaming videos.
Purpose
In teaching Applied Calculus at Texas A&M University, we have found that many students struggle with
the mathematical concepts introduced in the class….
