Rationale: Differential calculus is the mathematical tool for analyzing and describing such a
variable rate of change, while integral calculus is the tool for accumulating known changes in
order to determine the total change (sum of changes) over an interval. Geometry is a word
derived from Greek. In Greek, "geo" means "earth" and "metria" means measure and Geometry
is a branch of mathematics that studies the size, shape, and position of 2-dimensional shapes and
3-dimensional figures. The main concepts in geometry are lines and segments, shapes and solids
(including polygons), triangles and angles, and the circumference of a circle. In Euclidean
geometry, angles are used to study polygons and triangles.
Objective: After completing of this course, Student will be able to
• Use graphical and numerical evidence to estimate limits, and to identify situations where limits
fail to exist. Apply rules of limits to calculate limits and use the limit concept to determine
where a function is continuous.
• Rules for constants, powers, and trigonometric and exponential functions and rules for inverse
functions, including logarithms and inverse trigonometric functions.
• Use the derivative to find tangent lines to curves and calculate derivatives of functions defined
implicitly. Interpret the derivative as a rate of change. Find critical points, and use them to
locate maxima and minima. Use critical points and signs of first and second derivatives to
sketch graphs of functions:
• Use the first derivative to find intervals where a function is increasing or decreasing.
• Use the second derivative to determine concavity and find inflection points. find the distance
between two points and determine the coordinates of points using section formula and
• Deduce the area of a triangle and calculate the ratio in which a point divides the line segment.
Verify the collinearity of three points. Construct a tangent line from a point outside a given
circle to the circle.
• Write the standard equation of a parabola given its vertex and a value a that describes its shape.
Describe that the equation Ax2 + By2 + Cx + Dy + F = 0 represents a parabola when A=0, B
0 and C 0;or A 0 and C 0. Describe that the equation Ax2 + By2 = P represents a hyperbola
when the coefficient of A and B have different signs

GRADING SYSTEM
The grades for the program will be indicated in the following manner
80 - 100 = A+ (4.00) Excellent
75 - <80 = A (3.75)
70 - <75 = A- (3.50) Good
65 - <70 = B+ (3.25)
60 - <65 = B (3.00) Fair
55 - <60 = B- (2.75)
50 - <55 = C+ (2.50)
45 - <50 = C (2.25)
40 - <45 = D (2.00) Poor
<40 -- -- = F (0.0) Failure
