About this course

Understanding Calculus 1 for your Newlane credit.

What is Calculus 1?

Calculus 1 is the study of change and accumulation. It introduces the idea of a limit, then uses limits to define derivatives and integrals, which are tools for measuring rates of change, slopes, area, and total amount in real situations.

How the course teaches you

Calculus 1 (Math 165) is a 4-credit course with 25% Attendance, 25% Quizzes, 25% Assignments, and 25% Final Exam. The course moves from limits to derivatives and integrals, using those ideas to study change, slopes, area, and total amount. When you finish and your transcript is sent to Newlane University, Newlane recognizes the course as Quantitative Literacy GE, which applies as a general-education requirement.

How it helps beyond the classroom

The skills from Calculus 1 help you read rates of change, compare trends, and make sense of quantities that grow or shrink over time. At Newlane, that credit can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy by filling the Quantitative Literacy GE slot instead of taking an extra general-education course. Because Newlane is competency-based, completing this transfer credit can free time for the courses you still need in your degree plan.

Skills you walk away with

Evaluate limits graphically, numerically, and analyticallyDifferentiate polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and inverse trigonometric functionsUse the chain rule, product rule, quotient rule, and implicit differentiationAnalyze critical points, increasing/decreasing intervals, and concavitySolve optimization and related rates problemsCompute basic antiderivatives and definite integralsApply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

Taking this course toward Newlane

After you complete Calculus 1, your transcript is sent to Newlane University for review. Newlane's registrar applies the course as Quantitative Literacy GE, so it satisfies a general-education requirement in your degree plan rather than remaining an unassigned elective. That matters at Newlane because the credit can help you move through programs like the Associate of Arts in Liberal Arts or the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy while staying within the transfer ceiling of 90 credits. Since Newlane allows up to 75% of a degree to come from transfer, this course can be part of a larger transfer plan, but it will only count within those limits.

Who this course is for

This course is a practical choice for students who want a math requirement to count toward Newlane and who need a general-education course that transfers as Quantitative Literacy GE. It can fit degree-finishers, adults returning to school, and students planning ahead for Newlane's transfer limits, since up to 90 credits may transfer and no more than 75% of the bachelor's degree can come from transfer. It is not the right choice if you need a course that will transfer as a major-specific upper-level math requirement at Newlane.
