Calculus and Analytic Geometry 1 introduces differential and integral calculus, plane analytic geometry, applications, and transcendental functions.
Past student reviews · Rajula Srivastava
One student with a pre-calculus background had to reteach themselves majority of concepts after lectures. Another found that discussions were the most helpful resource for learning material and studying for quizzes and tests.
Apply differential calculus to analyze rates of change, and in particular to model real world phenomena (e.g., derivatives of exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions, first and second derivative tests for extrema, applied optimization, etc.).
Analyze the behavior of functions of one variable, including their asymptotic behavior, local behavior and existence of extrema (e.g., limits, continuity, tangent lines, finding extrema, etc.).
Apply integral calculus to model the cumulative effects of continuous processes (e.g., difference between indefinite and definite integral, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, computing areas, volumes, and surface areas, etc.).
Successfully perform computations related to limits, differentiation, and integration.

Past student reviews · Rajula Srivastava
Rajula Srivastava was described as caring and articulate, maintaining a light classroom atmosphere. Students noted her slides moved quickly and in-class practice problems lacked sufficient explanation, often requiring self-study to relearn material. She provided class time for exam review, and one student found discussions more helpful than lectures for studying.
Recent recorded grades — Fall 2025: 2.77 GPA, 31.6% A/AB (n=171 letter grades).
Past student reviews · Melissa Lindsey, Janine Janoski
Melissa Lindsey made calculus concepts easier for first-time students, and students found her engaging and clear. Janine Janoski valued personal connections, though students noted that three exams, each worth 29%, made recovery from a poor performance difficult.

Past student reviews · Rajula Srivastava
Students reported that the instructor taught as if everyone had taken calculus before, assuming prior knowledge. Some felt the pace was too fast, while others noted she spent too much time on simple concepts and not enough on complex ones.
Approximate 80% prediction interval
The course’s semester-average GPA, not an individual student’s grade. The center uses 5 same-season terms, weighted toward recent results.
The range uses the finite-sample 80th-percentile rank of absolute errors from earlier same-season forecasts. Each forecast uses only records from earlier terms. At least four forecasts are required; bounds are rounded outward and limited to 0–4. This is an empirical estimate: changing instructors or grading policies can reduce its coverage.

Typical course in this group:
1280 courses over the same term, each with at least 30 recorded letter grades. Cross-listed courses count once. GPA is not a measure of difficulty or teaching quality. The typical course is the median by recorded grade count; tied values are not counted as lower. Grade counts describe course scale, not unique students or typical section size.
Descriptions compare GPA with this group’s average: at least 0.20 higher or lower; otherwise close to average. Section size uses median recorded enrollment: small up to 30, mid-sized 31–99, large 100+. Lectures and discussion/lab sections are described separately.
