Overall Educational Objective

To enhance one’s knowledge and skills in mathematics, more specifically calculus

Course Description

The goal of this course is to provide the students with a mathematical foundation and prepare them for more advanced studies in mathematics. Throughout this course, the following topics will be covered: limits, continuity, differentiation, and applications of them. Also, preliminary integration will be introduced.

Course Learning Outcomes and Competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) Demonstrate advanced knowledge and skills in mathematics
2) Evaluate limits; demonstrate understanding of continuity and analyze points of discontinuity
3) Define a derivative, apply differentiation rules; understand the concept of marginal revenue, marginal cost, marginal propensity to consume; analyze the economic concept of elasticity
4) Sketch curves analyzing increasing and decreasing intervals, concavity and asymptotes; solve maxima and minima problems
