COURSE OUTLINE
for
CALCULUS I

Course Code: No. of Credits: 4


Instructor:

A. COURSE OVERVIEW:
1. Course Objectives:  To provide the students with the main ideas and techniques of
calculus, concerning limits, continuity, differentiation and integration.
 To provide an understanding of the practical meaning, significance and applications of
these ideas and techniques, through practical examples taken from many areas of
engineering, business and the life sciences

 To develop skills in mathematical modelling and problem solving, in thinking


logically, and in creatively applying existing knowledge to new situations

 To develop confidence and fluency in discussing mathematics in English.

2. Prerequisite: none
3. Main Content: Functions; Limits; Continuity; Derivatives, Differentiation, Derivatives
of Basic Elementary Functions, Differentiation Rules; Applications of Differentiation:
l’Hôpital’s Rule, Optimization, Newton’s Method; Anti-derivatives; Indefinite Integrals,
Definite Integrals, Fundamental Theorem of Calculus; Techniques of Integration;
Improper Integrals; Applications of Integration.
4. Assessment:
Assignment and Class Attendance: 20%. There are up to three assignments. They are
marked and the average value will be scaled into 100-point scale and after that the average
scores will be deducted by 20 points for each counted absence.
For example, a student obtains 10, 9, 8 for the three assignments. The average score is
(10+9+8)/3 = 9. This number 9 is scaled into 90/100. If the student are absent less than 4
times, his/her assignment and class attendance is kept at 90/100. If he/she is absent more
than 3 times, for example 6 times, his/her score will be deducted as follows
= 90 – (6-3)*20 = 30 points.
Student’s attendances are checked every lectures.
Therefore, students should never skip more three lectures.

Midterm Test: 20%


Final Exam: 60%
The midterm and final examinations consist of two parts: multiple choice questions and
regular questions. In these examinations, students are allowed to bring only one sheet of A4
paper to write formulas and important information.
