Course Summary

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.
