Humber College is located within the traditional and treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit. Known as Adoobiigok [A-doe-bee-goke], the “Place of the Alders” in Michi Saagiig [Mi-Chee Saw-Geeg] language, the region is uniquely situated along Humber River Watershed, which historically provided an integral connection for Anishinaabe [Ah-nish-nah-bay], Haudenosaunee [Hoeden-no-shownee], and Wendat [Wine-Dot] peoples between the Ontario Lakeshore and the Lake Simcoe/Georgian Bay regions. Now home to people of numerous nations, Adoobiigok continues to provide a vital source of interconnection for all.

Course Description

Applied Calculus (CALC 203) reinforces and expands upon the concepts and skills learned in Introduction to Calculus (CALC 103). In this course, students will learn advanced techniques for integration, discover the first and second order differential equations and infinite series (Maclaurin, Taylor, Fourier), get a solid exposure to Laplace transforms and their use in solving differential equations. The emphasis of the course is on problem solving and applications.

Course Rationale

The intent of this course is to provide students with a precise language and advanced mathematical tools for modelling applied problems in sciences and engineering. The knowledge and skills acquired are vital for students’ advancement in their core technical studies and success in their respective programs.

                    Prior Learning Assessment & Recognition (PLAR)

                    Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) is the formal evaluation and credit-granting process whereby candidates may obtain credits for prior learning. Prior learning includes the knowledge competencies and skills acquired, in both formal and informal ways, outside of post-secondary education. Candidates may have their knowledge, skills and competencies evaluated against the learning outcomes as defined in the course outline. Please review the Assessment Methods Glossary for more information on the Learning Portfolio assessment methods identified below.

                    The method(s) that are used to assess prior learning for this course may include:

                    • Challenge Exam (results recorded as a % grade and added to student’s CGPA)

                    Please contact the Program Coordinator for more details.

                    Academic Regulations

                    It is the student's responsibility to be aware of the College Academic Regulations. The Academic Regulations apply to all applicants to Humber and all current students enrolled in any program or course offered by Humber, in any location. Information about academic appeals is found in the Academic Regulations.  

                    Anti-Discrimination Statement

                    At Humber College, all forms of discrimination and harassment are prohibited. Students and employees have the right to study, live and work in an environment that is free from discrimination and harassment. If you need assistance on concerns related to discrimination and harassment, please contact the Centre for Human Rights, Equity and Inclusion or the Office of Student Conduct.

                    Accessible Learning Services

                    Humber strives to create a welcoming environment for all students where equity, diversity and inclusion are paramount. Accessible Learning Services facilitates equal access for students with disabilities by coordinating academic accommodations and services.  Staff in Accessible Learning Services are available by appointment to assess specific needs, provide referrals and arrange appropriate accommodations. If you require academic accommodations, contact:
