Course Objective

The aim of the course is to introduce students to the mathematical functions and as they may be encountered in business, economics, and social problems, and to provide the necessary theoretical background to carry out further analysis; the role of basic calculus by providing students the core issues of differentiation and integral calculus in accordance with limits and continuity concepts, curve sketching and particular approximation methods.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Have a knowledge forming and understanding mathematical models and techniques.
2   Identify the problem statement within a case from business, economical, social science environment.
3   Generate samples from real life for basic mathematical concepts and functions.
4   Be able to solve problems involving understanding of the functional and algebraic concepts.
5   Have a knowledge forming and detailed analyses of functions based on limit, differentiation and integration
