Credit(s): 0
Lecture Hour(s): 5
Lecture Hours Schedule Type: Blended, Lecture, Online
This is a credit-free upgrading course; special fees apply. This course introduces the concepts of calculus: limits, the differentiation and integration of algebraic, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric single variable functions, the solution of related application problems such as optimization, curve sketching, related rates and finding areas under curves and between curves. This course adopts an integrated approach, where the concepts of calculus are developed within a framework of fully establishing the student’s understanding of the fundamental properties of functions and their graphs. The overall intent is to strengthen mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills, make connections between mathematical ideas, relate mathematical functions to the practical world and enable students to achieve a solid understanding of the conceptual underpinnings of calculus.
