COURSE OBJECTIVES

The main aim of this course is to give students some basic ideas of calculus, which is the mathematics of motion. The purpose is not just making the students learn these ideas but to enable them to apply these ideas to solve problems of practical nature. The course will provide the students with the necessary tools to understand and formulate advanced mathematical concepts and an awareness of their relationship to a variety of problems arising in engineering and sciences. Students wishing to major in the sciences, engineering, or medicine are required to have a working knowledge of the calculus and its applications.
