This course aims to provide a broad introduction to single variable calculus, including the differentiation and integration tools needed by mathematicians and most applied scientists. The course builds on the foundations laid in secondary school mathematics and in turn aims to lay the foundation for more advanced studies undertaken in the following semester and beyond. Topic areas include differential calculus, integral calculus, complex numbers, differential equations, and numerical techniques.

The course will consider the wider significance and importance of the mathematical sciences across major global societal, industrial, technological, and environmental priorities and challenges. The course will enable you to develop an appreciation of the mathematical sciences, the universal language it provides and the associated technical and transferable skills that will support your future studies and careers.
