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.
