About the Professor
This course is an introduction to differential and integral calculus. It begins with a short review of basic concepts surrounding the notion of a function. Then it introduces the important concept of the limit of a function, and use it to study continuity and the tangent problem. The solution to the tangent problem leads to the study of derivatives and their applications. Then it considers the area problem and its solution, the definite integral. The course concludes with the calculus of elementary transcendental functions.

MATHEMATICSThe mission of the Department of Mathematics is to support the mission of the University by providing mathematics majors with high quality programs; by offering high quality courses to majors in the sciences and to others who need mathematics in their field of study and research; by educating those students whose primary interest is not in a field requiring the highest level of mathematics by offering high quality quantitative reasoning and general education courses; by working on the frontiers of mathematical research in fields of interest to our faculty. |
