Calculus 嘥 | |
Course description | |
Calculus provides indispensable tools to analyze various mathematical changes appearing in natural and social phenomena. In this course, we will learn the differentiations and the integrations of various functions of one variable and their properties. We will practice advanced computations in this course rather than in high schools. |
|
Expected Learning | |
The goals of this course are (1) to master basic methods of the differentiations and the integrations of various functions, such as polynomials, rational and irrational functions, trigonometric functions, exponential functions and logarithmic functions, (2) to understand how to calculate extreme maximal and minimum values of functions, and (3) to be capable of performing practical computations on determining areas of figures and lengths of curves. Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: See the Curriculum maps. |
