01 - Calculus and Laplace Transforms

This document outlines a Calculus and Laplace Transforms course with 4 credits over 45 hours. The course introduces multiple integrals, vector calculus, and Laplace transforms, with the expected outcomes being able to evaluate multiple integrals in different coordinate systems, apply vector calculus concepts to fields, and solve differential equations using Laplace transforms. The course is divided into 5 modules covering these topics, with assessment including assignments, tests, and open book exams.
