COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is the second course in calculus, designed primarily for students in mathematics,
pure and applied sciences. However, it also meets the need of students in other fields. The
course’s focus is to impart useful skills on the students in order to enhance their knowledge in
methods of solving mathematical problems and prepare them for other specialized applications to
be encountered at higher levels. Topics to be covered include real-valued function of a real-
valued function of a real variable, review of differentiation and integration and their applications,
mean value theorem, Taylor series, real-value functions of two or three variable, partial
derivatives, chain rule, extrema, Lagrange’s multiplier, increment, differentials and linear
approximations, evaluation of linear integral.
, COURSE OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this course are to:
Enable the students to have knowledge of calculus in the area of pure and applied
mathematics.
Solve real life problems in field of sciences and engineering.
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES/COMPETENCES
Upon successful completion of this course, the students will be able to:
Comprehend the basic concepts of derivative of a function.
Differentiate functions that are defined explicitly and implicitly and then apply it.
Identify the methods of integration as an inverse of differentiations, its techniques and
there area of application to real life situations.
State and apply the theorems and its relevance in mathematics
State the rules governing real-valued functions of two or three variables
Differentiate functions of two variables
Evaluate the multiple integrals
Comprehend the concepts of convergence and divergence as well as techniques of their
approximation.
GRADING SYSTEM FOR THE COURSE
This course will be graded as follows:
Assignments 10%
Popup Test(s) 10%
Test(s) 20%
Examination 60%
TOTAL 100%
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Attendance: It is expected that every student will be in class for lectures. Attendance records
will be kept and used to determine each person’s qualification to sit for the final examination. A
student must have at least 80% in attendance before being qualified to sit for final examination.
A student must dress corporate before the student can be allowed to sign attendance sheet. In
