MATH 182 Calculus for Architecture and Construction Management

1. Catalog Description

MATH 182 Calculus for Architecture and Construction Management 4 units


GE Area B1
Prerequisite: MATH 141.

Integral calculus with applications to architecture and construction management. The algebra of
vectors. Polar, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems. Not open to students with credit in
MATH 142. 4 lectures. Fulfills GE B1; for students admitted Fall 2016 or later, a grade of C- or
better in one GE B1 course is required to fulfill GE Area B.

2. Required Background or Experience

Math 141 or equivalent.

3. Learning Objectives

The student should:

(a) Understand the method of substitution as a tool in evaluating integrals.


(b) Understand the calculus of exponential and logarithmic functions and some of their
applications.
(c) Understand inverse trigonometric functions, and some of their applications.
(d) Become familiar with some applications of integral calculus specific to architecture and
construction management.
(e) Become familiar with elementary differential equations and their use in modeling
physical phenomena.
(f) Understand the algebra of vectors and some appropriate applications.
(g) Become familiar with polar, cylindrical, and spherical coordinate systems.

Method

The pacing of Math 182 is more relaxed than in Math 142, allowing for an increased emphasis
on applications of integral calculus. The selected topics from section 6.6 and chapters 10, 12, and
15 will not involve calculus.

2018/19
8. Methods of Assessment

The primary methods of assessment are: essay examinations, quizzes and homework.
Typically, there will be one or more hour-long examinations during the quarter, and a
required comprehensive final examination.
