Duration: 75 mins

Course Code Math 101 (3 Credits)

(Credits)

Course This is the first of a two-semester Calculus sequence. This course covers limits,
Description continuity, differentiation and its applications, Integrals and techniques of integration,
applications of integrals, early transcendental functions.

Pre-requisites Pre Calculus or Equivalent

Goals At the end of the course students should have learnt:

• Techniques of differentiation and integration.
• The concept of a derivative and Integral in the context of physical quantities like
velocity, population growth, force, work etc
• Careful (mathematical) as opposed to intuitive thinking
