Basic Calculus

(Theory)

 

 

 

 

 

 

CO1: Analyze functions, calculate limits and derivatives and apply these concepts to solve problems in various fields.

CO2: Evaluate the differentiation techniques for various types of functional polynomials, trigonometric, logarithmic and exponential functions.

CO3: Develop calculus ideas for real-world circumstances by solving optimization problems, identifying crucial points and analyzing rates of change.

CO4: Explain the integration methods, including integration by parts, partial fractions and substitution.

CO5: Explain the fundamental theorem of calculus, the basic properties of definite integrals and techniques for evaluating definite integrals.

CO6: Contribute effectively in course-specific interaction.
