Aims and learning outcomes
This unit aims to provide students with mathematical knowledge of calculus. The knowledge gained and the problem-solving skills developed will prepare students for further undergraduate studies in applied science and engineering.
Students who successfully complete this unit should be able to:
- Use the laws of indices and logarithms to solve exponential and logarithmic equations. Apply exponential and logarithmic functions in practical problems
- Apply circular functions, identify and sketch the graph of trigonometric functions and apply trigonometric identities, compound angles and multiple angle formula to solve trigonometric equations
- Evaluate the derivatives of polynomial, trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions. Demonstrate knowledge of differentiation incurve sketching, and kinematics
- Select the formulas and techniques of integration to evaluate indefinite integrals, RMS and Centroid
