Department of Mathematics This document is published as an indication of the

Course Number: MTH 122

Course Title: Survey of Calculus and Its Applications II

Credit Hours: 4

Textbook: L. Goldstein, D. Schneider, D. Lay, and N. Asmar, Calculus and Its Applications,
5th custom UB edition.
5th custom UB edition consists of chapters 1-10 and 12 of the standard 14th edition, so the
standard 14th edition can also be used. The text is available in hardcopy and eBook, both with and
without Pearson MyLab Math.
Fall 2021 MyLab Information: MyLab Math will be used for homework. Be sure to get a
bundle or access code that includes MyLab Math access.

Prerequisites: MTH 121 with recommended grade of C or higher.

Notes: Continuation of MTH 121. Second part of a two-semester calculus sequence for students in social,
biological, and management sciences.
Trigonometric functions are not usually covered in MTH 121 and are not part of this syllabus for
MTH 122. Care should be taken in assigning problems in Chapters 9 and 10.

SAMPLE SYLLABUS
Keep in mind that this is a sample syllabus. Your section will cover the same required topics, but may not cover
them on this precise schedule or in this precise order. It might have more or fewer midterms and/or homework
assignments. It might make use of quizzes or other grading instruments not used in this sample, etc. Consult the
syllabus for your section or your instructor for the details pertaining to your section.
