• calculate work, fluid force and centers of mass.
• integrate using the following techniques: trigonometric substitution, partial fractions, tables.
• evaluate limits using L' Hopital's rule.
• evaluate improper integrals.
• find whether a series converges using the following tests: integral, p-series, comparision, alternating, ratio root.
• determine Taylor and Maclaurin series of a given function.
• know the equations and properties of the ellipse, hyperbola and parabola.
• sketch curves in polar coordinates and find tangent lines, area and arc length in polar coordinates.
• work with parametric equations.

III: Course Linkage
