Differential calculus including applications and the underlying theory of limits for functions and sequences.
MATH 1551 is a coordinated course with a course coordinator (Prof. Thomas Tran). This means that all lectures and studios use the same materials and calendar, and we also use versions of the same assessments.
All students are expected to comply with the Georgia Tech Honor Code (the honor code can be found at http://osi.gatech.edu/content/honor-code). Any evidence of cheating or other violations of the Georgia Tech Honor Code will be submitted directly to the Office of Student Integrity. Cheating includes, but is not limited to:
- Using a calculator, books, or any form of notes on tests.
- Copying directly from any source, including friends, classmates, tutors, internet sources (including Wolfram Alpha or Chegg etc.), or a solutions manual. This applies to your homework as well! You can get help, but it’s important that you take ownership of your work.
- Allowing another person to copy your work.
- Taking a test or quiz in someone else's name, or having someone else take a test or quiz in your name.
- Asking for a regrade of a paper that has been altered from its original form.
