Course Objectives The course is designed to fill the gaps in students knowledge that they have in their pre-college education and then to give them computational skills in one-variable differential and integral calculus to handle engineering problems
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • understand, define and use functions, and represent them by means of graphs
  • understand fundamental concepts of limit and continuity
  • understand the meaning of derivative and calculate derivatives of one-variable functions
  • use derivatives to solve problems involving maxima, minima, and related rates
  • understand integration, know integration techniques, use them to solve area, volume and other problems
Course Content Preliminaries, limits and continuity, differentiation, applications of derivatives, L`Hopital's Rule, integration, applications of integrals, integrals and transcendental functions, integration techniques and improper integrals, squences.
