I'm an assistant professor of mathematics in the Mathematics and Computer Science Department at Northern Michgan University. I've been a professor at NMU for eight years, and I am very passionate about the praxis of doing mathematics and teaching it. I grew up on a fishing camp in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.

Learning Outcomes

Students will delve deeper into the concepts introduced in Calculus I, expanding their understanding of integration, series, and sequences. We will cover techniques and applications of integration, such as integration by parts, partial fractions, improper integrals, and applications to areas, volumes, and work problems. Sequences and series then take center stage; within that context we study convergence, divergence, tests for convergence, power series, Taylor and Maclaurin series, as well as applications in approximations and solving differential equations. Calculus II often challenges students to think more abstractly and develop problem-solving skills, setting the stage for further advanced mathematics and real-world applications.
