Math 222 - Calculus and Analytic Geometry

• Prerequisites: Math 221
• Frequency: Fall (I), Winter (II), Summer (SS)
• Student Body: This course is intended for students in the sciences, mathematics, computer science and engineering, or for other students who want preparation for higher level math courses or courses in allied fields
• Credits: 5. Students may not receive full degree credit for both Math 222 and 213. (r-N-I)
• Recent Texts: Thomas' Calculus W/Second Order Differential Equations (special Wisconsin printing) Weir, Hass, Giordano
• Course Coordinator: Calculus Committee
• Background and Goals: This course is the second one in the standard Calculus series at the UW, Math 221-222-234. This series is designed for students in the Sciences and Engineering. Depending on the major, students in the school of business might be asked to take 211-213 instead of 221-222. Honors student interested in a theoretical approach should consider our Honors sequence 275-276-375-376 instead. Full credit is not allowed for both 222 and 213.
• Alternatives: students in the School of Business are sometimes asked to take 211-213 instead of 221-222 as part of their major requirements. Math 276 is a theoretical version of Math 222 and it is aimed at Honors students.
• Subsequent Courses: Math 234.
