About the Course

This course continues your study of calculus by focusing on the applications of integration. The applications in this section have many common features. First, each is an example of a quantity that is computed by evaluating a definite integral. Second, the formula for that application is derived from Riemann sums. Rather than measure rates of change as we did with differential calculus, the definite integral allows us to measure the accumulation of a quantity over some interval of input values. This notion of accumulation can be applied to different quantities, including money, populations, weight, area, volume, and air pollutants. The concepts in this course apply to many other disciplines outside of traditional mathematics. We will expand the notion of the average value of a data set to allow for infinite values, develop the formula for arclength and curvature, and derive formulas for velocity, acceleration, and areas between curves. Through examples and projects, we will apply the tools of this course to analyze and model real world data....

Sadly, in this course the material was presented in such an oversimplified way and stripped of details that it was very difficult to develop an understanding of the concepts being presented. For instance, for curvature the instructor only gave us the formulas for computing it, but didn't say where they came from nor even gave us any intuitions behind them.

The first half of this specialization is ok and well balanced. But in my mind, this second half, specially since calculus, the complexity and practice of classes is umbalance with the complexity of the test. I run all times on trouble have to look for another sources to resolve the test. In other terms, the complexity scale, but the pedagogic doesnt.
