101, Calculus I, Spring 2024 Syllabus

Textbook: 25 Lectures for Undergraduate Calculus I.

Registered students can download the textbook from the KLMS course site when it is open.

A. Information for lectures:

(1) Calculus I deals with the differentiation and integration of one variable function. We
assume students have taken and mastered high school-level calculus courses.
(2) There will be 25 lectures. (No class on April 10th, May 6th, May 15th.)
(3) Evaluation: Grades will be determined by the weighted total of the following. ˆ Final
Exam: 45% ˆ Midterm Exam: 35% ˆ Quiz: 15% ˆ Attendance: 5%
(4) If the final score is less than 25% out of 100%, it is a fail (F).
(5) The topics of each lectures are as follows:

Part I Differentiation: Mathematical Description of Motion

1 Limit and continuity #1
2 Limit and continuity #2
3 Differentiation
4 Chain rule and implicit differentiation
5 Integration & fundamental theorem of calculus
6 Inverse functions and their derivatives

Part II Kepler and Newton’s Laws of Motion

7 Rectangular coordinate system and curves in R3
8 Polar coordinates in R2
