- Learning Outcomes
- 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.
