This course continues the studies begun in Math 221, and covers the 6th through 10th modules of a 13-module sequence on the fundamental ideas of calculus. Each module contains five lessons and a module exam. Math 222 covers differential equations and initial-value problems, techniques of integration, infinite series, power series and convergence criteria, conic sections, parametric curves, and polar coordinates. This course is followed by U600-234, Multivariable Calculus.

Prerequisite: Successful completion of a first-term calculus course including integration and the calculus of exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. See the prerequisite page for more details.

Grading

Score Letter Grade
NOTE: The grading scale was revised on Nov 13, 2003. This grading scale applies to all students who complete the course after that date.
93-100 A
90-92 AB
83-89 B
80-82 BC
73-79 C
65-72 D
0-64 F

Each lesson and each exam is graded on a 100-point scale. The final score is computed as a weighted average, with the average of the lessons counting for 40%, and the average of the exams counting 60%. The exam average must be at least 65 for a passing grade. Assuming this is the case, the average of all your work is converted to a letter grade as shown in the table.
