COURSE SYLLABUS
1st Semester AY 2019-2020

COURSE CODE : MATH 3

COURSE TITLE : Introduction to Calculus
COURSE CREDIT : 4 units (Lec)
TIME DURATION :

A. COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course introduces techniques of differential calculus. We look at average rates of
change which become instantaneous, as time intervals become vanishingly small, leading to
the notion of a derivative. We then explore techniques involving differentials that exploit
tangent lines. The module introduces Leibniz notation and shows how to use it to get
information easily about the derivative of a function and how to apply it.

B. COURSE OBJECTIVES

At the end of the course, the students are expected to be able to know:
a. Representing functions
b. Mathematical models
c. Generating new functions from old
d. Rates of change, velocity, and tangents
e. The limit of a function
f. Limit laws
g. The real definition of a limit
h. Derivatives and rates of change
i. Differentiation formulae
j. Derivatives of trigonometric functions
