Q: 1. How does this course help prepare me for STEM applications like physics or engineering?

Builds confidence in handling rate-of-change concepts , which are foundational in physics (e.g., motion, velocity, acceleration). Teaches integration methods essential for calculating areas, volumes, and accumulated quantities in engineering. Connects precalculus work on real functions to modeling real-world systems. Uses curve sketching via derivatives to analyze function behavior—key for interpreting scientific phenomena. Balances theory and application—making it easier to apply calculus principles in practical STEM contexts.
