MATH& 148 - Business Calculus

5.0 Credits
Introduction to differential and integral calculus. For students in business or other programs requiring a brief course in calculus; not for math or science majors. Graphing calculator required (was MATH 150). Prerequisite: MATH 140 or MATH& 141 (was MATH 131) or equivalent with a grade of 2.0 or higher.
