A review of differentiation

We review differentiation and integration.

A review of integration

We review differentiation and integration.

A review of integration techniques

We review common techniques to compute indefinite and definite integrals.

1Areas between curves

1.1Area between curves

We introduce the procedure of “Slice, Approximate, Integrate” and use it study the area of a region between two curves using the definite integral.

2Accumulated cross-sections

2.1Accumulated cross-sections

We can also use the procedure of “Slice, Approximate, Integrate” to set up integrals to compute volumes.

3Solids of revolution

3.1What is a solid of revolution?

We define a solid of revolution and discuss how to find the volume of one in two different ways.

3.2The washer method

We use the procedure of “Slice, Approximate, Integrate” to develop the washer method to compute volumes of solids of revolution.

5.1Surface areas of revolution

We compute surface area of a frustrum then use the method of “Slice, Approximate, Integrate” to find areas of surface areas of revolution.

6Applications of integration

6.1Physical applications

We apply the procedure of “Slice, Approximate, Integrate” to model physical situations.

7Integration by parts

7.1Integration by parts

We learn a new technique, called integration by parts, to help find antiderivatives of certain types of products by reexamining the product rule for differentiation.

We integrate by substitution with the appropriate trigonometric function.

10Partial fractions

10.1Rational functions

We discuss an approach that allows us to integrate rational functions.

11Improper integrals

11.1Improper Integrals

We can use limits to integrate functions on unbounded domains or functions with unbounded range.

12Sequences

12.1Sequences

We investigate sequences.

12.2Representing sequences visually

We can graph the terms of a sequence and find functions of a real variable that coincide with sequences on their common domains.

13Sequences as functions

13.1Limits of sequences

There are two ways to establish whether a sequence has a limit.

14Sums of sequences

14.1What is a series

A series is an infinite sum of the terms of sequence.

14.2Special Series

We discuss convergence results for geometric series and telescoping series.

15Integral and divergence tests

15.1The divergence test

If an infinite sum converges, then its terms must tend to zero.

16Alternating series

16.1The integral test

Certain infinite series can be studied using improper integrals.

16.2The alternating series test

Alternating series are series whose terms alternate in sign between positive and negative. There is a powerful convergence test for alternating series.

17Ratio and root tests

17.1The ratio test

Some infinite series can be compared to geometric series.

17.2The root test

Some infinite series can be compared to geometric series.

18Comparison tests

18.1The comparison test

We compare infinite series to each other using inequalities.

18.2The limit comparison test

We compare infinite series to each other using limits.

19Absolute and Conditional Convergence

19.1Absolute and Conditional Convergence

The basic question we wish to answer about a series is whether or not the series converges. If a series has both positive and negative terms, we can refine this question and ask whether or not the series converges when all terms are replaced by their absolute values. This is the distinction between absolute and conditional convergence, which we explore in this section.
