Kenyon offers four different calculus courses every semester:
- Calculus 1 (Math 111): This is our "standard" introductory calculus course. If you have a relatively solid background in precalculus (algebra and trigonometry), but have seen little or no calculus, this is the place to start. The course mostly focuses on derivatives, from basic definitions through techniques to some applications. Additionally, the basics of antidifferentiation are also introduced.
- Calculus 2 (Math 112): This is the second course in our calculus sequence. The course focuses principally on techniques and applications of integration.
- Sequences and Series (Math 212): This 7-week course focuses on infinite sequences and series. Topics covered in this course include convergence of series, various tests of convergence, Taylor polynomials, Taylor series, power series and their applications. Prerequisite: Math 112 or equivalent.
- Multivariable Calculus (Math 213): This course examines differentiation and integration in three dimensions. Topics of study include functions of several variables, vectors and vector algebra, partial derivatives, optimization, and multiple integrals. Prerequisite: Math 112 or equivalent.
