Recommended Optional Program Components: | This is not defined for this course. |
Course Objectives: | Gain proficiency in calculus to formulate and solve problems, and to communicate solutions to others. The course will provide students with a thorough understanding of functions and graphs, limits and the derivative, applications of derivatives, the area problem and the definite integral, and computation techniques of the definite or indefinite integrals. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Understand and use basic properties of elementary functions 2. Evaluate limits of functions graphically, numerically and algebraically 3. Determine whether a function is continuous and/or differentiable at a point using limits 4. Express the derivative of a function as a limit and write the equation of the tangent line at a given point 5. Apply the rules of differentiation to evaluate the derivative of a given function 6. Graph functions using limits and derivatives 7. Identify appropriate calculus concepts and techniques to determine solutions to optimization and related rates problems 8. Apply the definition of the definite integral as the limit of Riemann sums, and compute definite and indefinite integrals using standard integration techniques |
The teaching methods of the course are in the form of exposition and problem-solving. The topics covered in the course can be listed as follows: Functions, limits, continuity, differentiation, rules of differentiation, chain rule, implicit differentiation, derivatives of logarithmic, exponential and inverse trigonometric functions, related rates problems, maximum and minimum values, the mean value theorem, curve sketching, linearization and differentials, optimization problems, areas as limits of Riemann sums, the definite integral, antiderivatives, the fundamental theorem of Calculus, techniques of integration. |
