This unit describes the competencies required to facilitate training on how to apply calculus. It involves determining derivatives of functions, applying differentiation and partial differentiation, determining integrals of functions and applying integration.
The course requirements typically include:
-
Prerequisite Knowledge:
- Algebra: Proficiency in manipulating algebraic expressions, solving equations and inequalities, and understanding functions.
- Geometry: Understanding geometric shapes, properties, and theorems, particularly those related to coordinate geometry.
- Trigonometry: Familiarity with trigonometric functions, identities, and equations, as well as their applications in various contexts.
- Pre-Calculus: Mastery of topics such as polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions, and their graphs.
-
Core Calculus Concepts:
- Limits: Understanding the concept of a limit, calculating limits, and applying limits to understand the behavior of functions.
- Derivatives: Mastery of differentiation techniques, interpreting derivatives as rates of change, and applying derivatives to real-world problems.
- Integrals: Understanding integration, calculating definite and indefinite integrals, and applying integration to compute areas, and volumes, and solve other practical problems.
- Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: Grasping the relationship between differentiation and integration.
-
Online Assessments:
- Interactive quizzes and assignments are administered through learning management systems, allowing for automated grading and instant feedback.
