Course Short Description

This course is intended to develop practical skills in differential and integral calculus, including their
applications to various technical problems. The basic differential rules will be introduced, and the methods
of differentiating algebraic and transcendental functions will be developed. The definite integrals and
indefinite integrals, along with their applications in finding the area, will be studied.

Course Objectives

1. To classify different types of functions, approximate their limits both numerically and graphically, as
well as their continuity at a point, or determine the intervals of continuity.
2. To apply the concept of limits and continuity to understand the principles of differentiation and
integration.
3. To differentiate all types of functions, including implicit and explicit types, using different methods
and apply differentiation to determine the rate of change, maxima, and minima of functions.
4. To integrate different types of functions either by using the integral table or substitution technique
and apply the definite integral to obtain the area under curves.

Course Learning Outcomes

 Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
 (CO-1) Demonstrate the ability to identify the type of a given function, approximate its
limit both numerically and graphically, as well as its continuity at a given point,
or determine the intervals of continuity of the function.
 (CO-2) Determine the differentiability and integrability of functions using the concepts
of limits and continuity. Determine the differentiability and integrability of
functions using the concepts of limits and continuity.
 (CO-3) Differentiate various types of functions comprising both the implicit and
explicit types using different methods and apply differentiation to determine
the rate of change and maxima and minima of functions.
 (CO-4) Evaluate the integral associated with different types of functions either by
using the integral table or substitution technique; interpret the geometric
meaning of integral and apply this concept to solve geometric and physical problems,
such as finding the area under curves.

Classroom Rules of Conduct

Please Refer to the NSU Student Handbook, Sections: “Disciplinary Actions” and “Procedures and
Guidelines.”

Exams & Make-up Exam Policy

NO makeup for quizzes and NO Formative assessment will be retaken under any circumstances. If a
student misses the Midterm and/or Final exams due to circumstances beyond their control (official valid
documents are required) and is informed beforehand (if possible), reasonable arrangements may be
considered. Please note that the retake exam questions are generally a bit tricky and critical compared to
the regular exam questions. Students may get the opportunity to see/recheck their midterm and Final
exam scripts.
Cell phones are prohibited in exam sessions.

Attendance Policy: As per NSU policy.

Grading Policy: As per NSU policy.
