Educational Aims of the Module

  • Math150 covers the classical topics in calculus and analysis taught to beginning engineering and science students;
  • These include limits and continuity, differentiation and applications, integration and techniques of integration;
  • The students will be taught formal definitions as well as statements and simpler proofs of some classical theorems, but the majority of the time will be spent on solving problems and developing problem solving techniques.
 

Module Outline/Syllabus

  • Review of basic functions
  • Continuous functions
  • Derivatives
  • Rules of differentiation
  • Infinite limits, asymptotes
  • Local extrema, max/min on closed interval
  • Rolle's Theorem, Mean Value Theorem
  • First and Second Derivative Test
  • Function graphing
  • Riemann integral
  • Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
  • Techniques of Integration
  • Area under a curve, between curves
