  Course Description:

The course deals  with the  Limit's principle and theory, methods of dealing with the differentiation operations and its theorems as well as the trigonometric and implicit differentiation, the integral and its definition as limit's operations linking the differentiation to  the  integral rules.

 

Objectives: The course aims at

1- Showing the importance of calculus in science and engineering and the correlation between them.

2- Providing the basic principles of calculus and its applications.

3- improving  the students logical thinking and mathematical skills to solve mathematical problems.

Contents:

1-Basic concepts of algebra:  Real number system, exponents, operations on polynomials, and factoring.

2-Functions :  Definition, ways of representing a function, graph, domain, and range of a function. Types of functions, polynomials, and power functions.

3-The limit of a function: Definition, one-side limit, infinite limits, and vertical asymptote

4-Continuity:  Continuity at a point, types of discontinuity, continuity on an interval, all theorems of continuity.

5-The derivative as a function: Identify the graph of  a functions  derivative, notations, and how function can fail to be differentiable.

The definite integrals: Riemann sum, evaluating, and properties of the definite integral. -6
