Course Short Description

This course is intended to develop practical skills in differential and integral calculus, including their
applications to various technical problems. The basic differential rules will be introduced as well as the
methods of differentiating algebraic and transcendental functions will be developed. The definite integrals
and indefinite integrals, along with its applications in finding the area will be studied.
Course Objectives
1. To classify different types of functions, approximate their limits both numerically and graphically as
well as their continuity at a point or determine the intervals of continuity.
2. To apply the concept of limits and continuity to understand the principles of differentiation and
integration.
3. To differentiate all types of functions, including implicit and explicit type using different methods, and
apply differentiation to determine the rate of change, maxima and minima of functions.
4. To integrate different types of functions either by using the integral table or substitution technique and
apply the definite integral to obtain the area under curves.

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

• (CO-1) Demonstrate the ability to identify the type of a given function, approximate its
limit both numerically and graphically as well as its continuity at a given point or
determine the intervals of continuity of the function.
• (CO-2) Determine the differentiability and integrability of functions using the concepts of
limits and continuity. Determine the differentiability and integrability of functions
using the concepts of limits and continuity.
• (CO-3) Differentiate various types of functions comprising both the implicit and explicit
types using different methods and apply differentiation to determine the rate of
change and maxima and minima of functions.
• (CO-4) Evaluate the Integrals associated with different types of functions either by using
the integral table or substitution technique; interpret the geometric meaning of
integral and apply this concept to solve geometric and physical problems, such as finding
the area under curves.

Classroom Rules of Conduct

Please Refer to NSU Student Handbook, Sections: “Disciplinary Actions” and “Procedures and
Guidelines”.

Exams & Make-up Exam Policy

NO makeup for quizzes and NO Formative assessment will be retaken under any circumstances. If a student
misses the Midterm exam and/or Final exam due to the circumstances beyond their control (official valid
documents are required) and informed beforehand (if possible), reasonable arrangement may be considered.
Please note the retake exam questions are generally a bit tricky and critical compare to the regular exam
questions. Students may get the opportunity to see/recheck their midterm and Final exam scripts.
Cell phones are prohibited in exam sessions.

Attendance Policy: As per NSU policy.
