LSC-CyFair Math Department
Limits and continuity; the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus; definition of the derivative of a function and techniques of differentiation; applications of the derivative to maximizing or minimizing a function; the chain rule; mean value theorem, and rate of change problems; curve sketching; definite and indefinite integration of of algebraic, trigonometric and transcendental functions, with an application to the calculation of areas.
Course Learning Outcomes
The student will:
• Develop solutions for tangent and area problems using the concepts of limits, derivatives, and integrals.
• Draw graphs of algebraic and transcendental functions considering limits, continuity, and differentiability at a point.
• Determine whether a function is continuous and/or differentiable at a point using limits.
• Use differentiation rules to differentiate algebraic and transcendental functions.
• Identify appropriate calculus concepts and techniques to provide mathematical models of real-world situations and determine solutions to applied problems.
• Evaluate definite integrals using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
• Articulate the relationship between derivatives and integrals using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
• Use implicit differentiation to solve related rates problems.
