4. COURSE OBJECTIVES

The goal of this course is for students to gain proficiency in calculus computations.
In calculus, we use three main tools for analyzing and describing the behavior of functions:
limits, derivatives, and integrals. Students will use these tools to solve application problems
in a variety of settings ranging from physics and biology to business and economics.
Knowledge and the ability to work with these concepts is essential for further studies of
mathematical subjects, as well as for applications of mathematical techniques in other
related courses and other sciences.

Course Level Learning Objectives:

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

 Compute limits, derivatives, and integrals.


1|Page
 Analyze functions using limits, derivatives, and integrals.

 Recognize the appropriate tools of calculus to solve applied problems.

5. COURSE CONTENT/DESCRIPTION

This is the first of two courses in the basic calculus sequence. This course is an
introduction to calculus designed to develop the topics of functions of one variable,
including techniques of differentiation, applications to graphing, optimization (min/max)
problems, and an introduction to integration, with applications. Emphasis is placed on
limits, continuity, derivatives and integrals of algebraic and transcendental functions of
one variable. Upon completion, students should be able to select and use appropriate
models and techniques for finding solutions to derivative-related problems.

The contents is organized to follow the sequence of topics covered in an


introductory calculus course. Topics include:

7. OTHER REQUIRED MATERIALS & INFORMATION


Additional materials will be distributed at class.

8. COURSE REQUIREMENT & GRADING POLICY


It is a requirement that every student needs to attend at least 80% of class time to
have the right to take the final exam.

3|Page
Using cell phones is not allowed during class time. You will be asked to leave the
class for the whole section on that day if you are caught to use phones during class time
without lecturer’s permission.

The final grade is made up from:

 Attendance: 10% (Class attendance involving active participation is a very important


element in your success in learning mathematics. You are expected to actively
participate in each class session. You are responsible for all materials discussed in
class even if you miss the class. Attendance will be taken in each class; you must be
present for the entire class session in order to be counted as present).
 1st midterm exam: 20% (held in class on October).
 2nd midterm exam: 20% (held in class on November).
 Final exam: (50%) (The final exam will be at the end of the semester).
