Objective: 

This course will enable the students to -

  1. Acquaint the students with fundamental concepts of single variable calculus.
  2. Explore the solution of problems from a mathematical perspective and help to prepare students to succeed in upper level math, science, engineering and other courses that require calculus. 
  3. Determine if an infinite sequence is convergent or divergent.

The students will be able to –

 

CO7: Describe the consequences of Mean Value theorems for differentiable functions and be able to compute the expression for the derivative of curve, pedal equation for Cartesian and Polar curves.

CO8: Compute the expression for the derivative of a composite function using the chain rule of differentiation, differentiate a relation implicitly and compute the line tangent to its graph at a point, application of Euler's Theorem in homogeneous functions.

CO9: Analyse the extremas of a function on an interval and classify them as minima, maxima or saddles using the second derivative test.

CO10: Determine the chord of curvature, envelopes and asymptotes for polar and cartesian curves.

CO11: Compute the convergence of infinite non-negative series and alternative series using various convergence tests.

CO12: Interpret the value of the first and second derivative as measures of increase and concavity, convexity of functions, compute the critical points of a function on an interval and be able to trace cartesian and polar curves.
