MA006_CALCULUS

2. COURSE DESCRIPTION

Calculus is a course in the general knowledge stage, it is a mandatory subject for students
in all majors. This course helps students acquire basic knowledge of multivariable
differential calculus, multivariable integral calculus (including partial derivatives), curve
integration, surface integration, as well as skills in investigating sequences, series of
functions, improper integrals, etc. Along with identifying and solving some differential
equations, including first order and higher-order differential equations, so that students can
continue to study specialized subjects or serve the process of preparing their graduation
thesis.
