Basic trigonometric functions and their graphs (sinx, cosx, tanx, cotx, secx, cscx) and basic identities of trigonometric functions including trigonometric functions of sums and differences of two angles.
Real valued functions of one variable: functions, operations of functions, inverse functions, logarithmic and exponential functions and their properties, parametric equations. Graphs of linear, quadratic, cubic, square root, exponential and logarithmic functions.
Limits and continuity: introduction to calculus, limits, and continuity.
Differentiation: The derivative as a function, the derivative as a rate of change and as the slope of a graph, techniques of differentiation, chain rule, derivatives of trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions, higher derivatives, implicit differentiation, and differentials.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods | The taught part of course is delivered to the students by means of lectures and several examples are solved on the white board. Students are asked to work on their own during class hours on practice problems, and they are encouraged to ask questions.
Many additional exercises are given to students to work at home, and analytic solutions are provided. Students are encouraged to attend office hours for extra help.
