The objective of this course is to introduce the fundamental ideas of
the differential and integral calculus of functions involving one
variable. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be
able to:

Recognize properties of functions and their inverses


Course Sketch graphs by transformations
Objectives Study limits, continuity, derivatives, and its applications
Evaluate definite integrals, interpret definite integrals as
accumulations of rates of change and as Riemann sums,
explain and apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

Use the appropriate tools of calculus to solve applied


problems
This is a first course in the calculus series intended for computer
science students. Topics include a brief review of polynomials,
Course trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions, followed by
Description discussion of limits, derivatives, and applications of differential
calculus to real-world problems areas. An introduction to integration
concludes the course.
