Learning Outcomes of the course unitBy the end of the course, the students should be able to:
  1. Explain the notion of definite and indefinite integrals, state and use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
  2. Solve simple definite and indefinite integrals of polynomials, functions involving rational powers of the variable, exponential, trigonometric, and rational functions.
  3. Solve more complicated integrals by using the methods of integration by parts, u-substitution, partial fraction decomposition, and trigonometric substitution.
  4. Explain the concept of functions of two variables, find partial derivatives,
  5. Explain the concept of infinite series, state Taylor’s and MacLaurin’s Theorems, and expand simple functions in such series.
  6. Explain the notion of complex numbers, evaluate simple expressions involving complex numbers, and express complex numbers in polar form.
  7. Apply definite integration in order to compute areas between curves, and volumes of solids of revolution by using the methods of slices and cylindrical shells.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The theory is taught and several examples are solved on the white board.         

Students are encouraged to participate.

Technology is used to deliver concepts and ideas.

Students are asked to work on their own during class hours on examples and practice problems.

Extra homework is given to students to work at home.

Students are encouraged to attend office hours for extra help.
