It helps students develop critical and logical thinking skills, and provides them with the background needed to work in many areas of science and engineering, as well as developing critical and logical thinking skills that are of use to any student. A student completing Math 116 is prepared for <a href=\"https:\/\/courses.lsa.umich.edu\/math-116\/\">Math 215<\/a>, <em>Multivariable &amp; Vector Calculus<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Context<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This course presents the concepts of integral calculus from four points of view: geometric (graphs), numeric (tables), symbolic (formulas), and written (verbal descriptions). The emphasis throughout the course is on the mathematical modeling of real-life problems using linear, polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Students develop their reading, writing, and questioning skills in an interactive classroom setting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the public-facing page for the University of Michigan\u2019s Math 116,\u00a0Calculus II.
