First Year, First Part (I/I)
Lecture: 3
Tutorial: 2
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
It is assumed that incoming students have a good grounding in algebra, some knowledge of trigonometry and analytic geometry and previous to calculus. By the end of the course, students will have seen the development of all of the elementary functions, ranging from polynomials to the inverse hyperbolic functions. In parallel, the calculus will be developed, making use of the
increasing richness of the available functions. The student’s skills in differentiation and integration will thus be progressively improved. Simple applications of the calculus will be explored from time to time. The course will conclude with brief discussion of conic sections and coordinate transformations.
