IV- Objectives:
We teach Differential calculus, vector and geometry in this course. Students embarking on such courses diverse to different core subjects- engineering (EEE, chemical, civil, architectural), -computer (COE, CSE, CIS) biological (molar and genetic) engineering-like those in UK and USA. We have therefore revised and constituted a course syllabus that assume knowledge only of material that can be expected to be familiar to all the current generation of students starting physical science and engineering courses at universities. We aimed at building up a basic foundation of mathematical precision and tools essential for growing engineers and also the hierarchy of mathematical materials for engineers of research in future. Teaching Strategy: The general aim of our pedagogy is staged in three phases- first is a qualitative introduction from a physical point of view,- second is a formal presentation avoiding deliberately the mathematical tougher materials on the ground that- This is the real world; we must behave reasonably. Finally we worked out some problems fully drawn from physical science and engineering.
