Course Objective
This course is designed to help the students to
1. Develop the mathematical concepts of limits, derivatives and integrals, and interpret them graphically and physically in the context of real-world problems.
2. Apply differentiation and integration formulas, and implement the limit and derivative concepts and techniques to analyze functions.
3. Apply the ideas and techniques of differentiation and integration to a variety of applications such as extreme values, rates of change, optimization, areas, and volumes.
4. Describe the basic ideas of differential calculus in algebraic, geometric, and numeric terms, and utilize graphs to estimate relative rates, extreme values, limits, and derivatives.
5. Employ numerical methods to evaluate limits, derivatives, and integrals and utilize the Computer Algebra System Maple, in the computer-based laboratory, efficiently as a tool.

Course Learning Outcomes
- Evaluate limits graphically and numerically. Determine if a limit exists and evaluate limits analytically.
- 2 Use the concepts of the continuity, determine the continuity regions and the discontinuity types of functions.
- State the definition of derivative and give its geometrical interpretation.
- Use the derivative to find the equation of the tangent line at a point.
- Find the first and higher-order derivatives of a function by applying basic differentiation rules and find the rate of change using implicit derivatives.
- Use derivatives to approximate complicated functions and compute differentials.
- Evaluate the value of the limit using L’Hôpital’s rule.
- Apply Rolle’s, the Intermediate Value, and the Mean Value theorems.
- Set up related rates, optimization problems and use differentiation to solve them.
- Apply the extreme value theorem to determine extrema on a closed interval.
- Utilize the first and second derivative tests to find relative extrema, intervals for which the function is increasing or decreasing, concavity, and points of inflection
- Perform curve sketching (derivatives and curve shape, graphing).
- Compute the definite integral of any polynomial or root function, and integrate using the substitution technique
- Find upper, lower and middle sums for a region. Define the definite integral as a limit of Riemann sum approximations
- Evaluate definite integrals by using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and apply integration to compute areas between curves and volumes of solids of revolution.
