At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. Apply mathematical logic and rigour to solving problems, and express mathematical ideas coherently in written and oral form;
- LO2. Demonstrate fluency in manipulating real numbers, their symbolic representations, operations, and solve associated algebraic equations and inequalities;
- LO3. Develop fluency with lines, coordinate geometry in two dimensions, the notion of a function, its natural domain, range and graph;
- LO4. Become conversant with elementary functions, including trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic and hyperbolic functions and be able to apply them to real phenomena and to yield solutions of associated equations;
- LO5. Perform operations on functions and be able to invert functions where appropriate;
- LO6. Understand the definitions of a derivative, definite and indefinite integral and be able to apply the definitions to elementary functions;
- LO7. Develop fluency in rules of differentiation, such as the product, quotient and chain rules, and use them to differentiate complicated functions;
- LO8. Understand and apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus; and develop fluency in techniques of integration, such as integration by substitution, the method of partial fractions and integration by parts;
- LO9. Develop some fluency with coordinate geometry in three dimensions, planes, surfaces, ellipsoids, paraboloids, level curves and qualitative features such as peaks, troughs and saddle points.
