Course Objective

This aim of this course is to learn the basic concepts of calculus for real valued functions of a real variable: Limit, Continuity, Derivative and Integral. We shall use these to find the slope of a curve at a point, to graph functions, to find the maximum and minimum values of a function, to find the area of a region bounded by curves, to find the length of curves, to find the volumes of solids bounded by surfaces, etc.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Will be able to graph the basic transcendental functions and their inverses using their properties.
2   Will be able to express the continuity and limit concepts theoretically and graphically.
3   Will be able to use calculus in applied problems by interpreting the derivative and integral concept geometrically and physically.
4   Will be able to find the derivative of the functions using the differentiation rules.
5   Will be able to draw the graph of a function using the sign of its first and second derivative by finding the local maximum and local minimum values, absolute maximum and absolute minimum values and inflection points if any.
6   Will be able to estimate the definite integral using Riemann sums.
7   Will be able to apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to evaluate definite integrals using integration techniques.
8   Will be able to evaluate areas, volumes and arc lengths by definite integrals.
