MATH 2413 - Calculus I



Limits and continuity; the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus; definition of the derivative of a function and techniques of differentiation; applications of the derivative to maximizing or minimizing a function; the chain rule, mean value theorem, and rate of change problems; curve sketching; definite and indefinite integration of algebraic, trigonometric, and transcendental functions; with an application to calculation of areas.

Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion, students will be able to:

  • develop solutions for tangent and area problems using the concepts of limits, derivatives, and integrals;
  • draw graphs of algebraic and transcendental functions considering limits, continuity, and differentiability at a point;
  • determine whether a function is continuous and/or differentiable at a point using limits;
  • use differentiation rules to differentiate algebraic and transcendental functions;
  • identify appropriate calculus concepts and techniques to provide mathematical models of real-world situations and determine solutions to applied problems;
  • evaluate definite integrals using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus;
  • and articulate the relationship between derivatives and integrals using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
