On successful completion of this module students will be able to
Determine whether a given relation is a function or not, and
whether an inverse function exists.
Find limits and determine whether given functions are continuous or
not
Differentiate functions and use derivatives to graph functions,
solve extremal problems and related rates problems.
Integrate functions using substitution, integration by parts,
partial fractions and reduction formulae.
Find areas, volumes, length of curves, averages and work done.
Solve simple first order differential equations and higher order
linear homogeneous differential equations.
Determine whether a given sequence or series converges or not.
Determine where a given power series converges absolutely,
converges conditionally or diverges.
