OBJECTIVES:
The goal of this course is to achieve conceptual understanding and to retain the best
traditions of traditional calculus. The syllabus is designed to provide the basic tools of
calculus mainly for the purpose of modeling the engineering problems mathematically
and obtaining solutions. This is a foundation course which mainly deals with topics
such as single variable and multivariable calculus and plays an important role in the
understanding of science, engineering, economics and computer science, among other
disciplines.
Higher order linear differential equations with constant coefficients - Method of variation
of parameters – Homogenous equation of Euler’s and Legendre’s type – System of
simultaneous linear differential equations with constant coefficients - Method of
undetermined coefficients.
TOTAL PERIODS : 60
OUTCOMES :
After completing this course, students should demonstrate competency in the following
skills:
Use both the limit definition and rules of differentiation to differentiate functions.
Apply differentiation to solve maxima and minima problems. Evaluate integrals
both by using Riemann sums and by using the Fundamental Theorem of
Calculus.
Apply integration to compute multiple integrals, area, volume, integrals in polar
coordinates, in addition to change of order and change of variables.
Evaluate integrals using techniques of integration, such as substitution, partial
fractions and integration by parts.
Determine convergence/divergence of improper integrals and evaluate
convergent improper integrals.
Apply various techniques in solving differential equations.
