Calculus (1、2、3、4)(Including internship)/2、2、2、2

Calculus was independently founded by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz to describe and study the change of functions with respect to their variables. This subject has found applications and become fundamental in fields such as physics, chemistry, and engineering. In the first module of this Calculus series (MATH4006-4009), we will introduce differentiation of functions in one real variable.

Specifically, we will define the derivative of a function, derive basic rules and techniques of differentiation, analyze extrema of a function, discuss the statement and applications of the Mean Value Theorem(s), and sketch the graph of a function.

Key definitions are discussed, and important theorems are derived in lectures to help students develop their abilities in logical deduction and analysis. Practical applications of Calculus in various fields are illustrated to promote an organic interaction between the theory of Calculus and students’ own fields of study.

This course also provides TA classes, where students can enhance their proficiency in handling Calculus calculations under the guidance of our teaching assistants.

Students will be familiar with Calculus as a tool and be able to apply it in various subjects after finishing this course. Calculus 1, 2, 3, 4 provide the basis for the study of various advanced courses like Engineering Mathematics, Mathematical Analysis and Differential Equations.

Students are expected to be proficient in high school mathematics, including all topics covered in Pre-U/MATH4012 Pre-Calculus.
