Course Outcomes

After successfully completing the course, the learner will be able to:

  • Recognize the place of differential calculus in mathematics and the greater realm of scientific thought,
  • Demonstrate ability to solve problems in the geometry and analysis using in differential forms,
  • Demonstrate capacity to both prove results and solve problems.
  • Discuss the relationship between the derivative and the definite integral as expressed in both parts of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
  • Determine the reasonableness of solutions including signs, relative accuracy, size, and units of measurement.
  • Integrate polynomial, rational, radical and transcendental functions using standard advanced techniques.
  • Analyze the convergence/divergence of infinite sequences and series and express functions using power series representations. 
  • Represent mathematical information symbolically, visually, numerically, and verbally.
