Course Objectives and Outcomes

Course Outcome:
CO1: Understand the elementary functions and concepts of limit, continuity, derivative and integral
CO2: Study techniques of differentiation and use it in optimisation problems and curve sketching
CO3: Defining Integral as a sum and review integration techniques
CO4: Use of integrals for the computation of areas, volumes and arc length
CO5: Discuss some basic concepts in the theory of infinite series with some insight to Power series.

Evaluation Pattern: As in the rules for Assessment Procedure (R.14)

Skills and Employability: Mathematics being a language of all physical sciences and being a speciality in itself, the entire contents of this course, tutorials and assignments lays mathematical foundation for many mathematics, physics and engineering courses and builds skills required for a career as an educator in schools, colleges and universities, as a researcher, and as a communicator of mathematics in general.
