MTH101 : Calculus And Analytical Geometry

Course Overview

Course Synopsis

Single variable calculus which is what we begin with can deal with motion of an object along a fixed path. The more general problem when motion can take place on a surface or in space can be handled by multivariable calculus. So single variable calculus is the key to the general problem as well. The topics which will be covered in the course are Real numbers set theory intervals and inequalities Lines functions and graphs Limits and Continuity Differentiation Integration and Sequence and Series. The study of calculus is normally aimed at giving you the mathematical sophistication to relate to such more advanced work. Calculus and Analytical Geometry MTH101 is prerequisite course for Calculus II MTH301.
