Description

  • Algebraic Skills, Functions(C1)

    Recapitulation of elementary algebra and high school mathematics with emphasis on algebraic skills (such solving inequalities), Cartesian coordinates, and functions;
    in particular, algebraic manipulation of trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions.
  • Limits(C2)

    Conceptual definition of limits; various types of limits; concept of continuity.
  • Differentiation I(C3a)

    Differentiable functions; interpretation of derivatives in terms of tangent line; computation of derivatives using the product, quotient, and chain rules; implicit differentiation.

  • Differentiation II (C3b)

    Taylor polynomials of functions; l'Hopital's rule for computing limits.
  • Transcendental functions(C4)

    Inverse functions of one-to-one (injective) functions; in particular, the main properties of the natural logarithm (as inverse of the exponential function) and of the inverse trigonometric functions.
  • Integration(C5)

    Computation of definite and improper integrals using various techniques such as integration by substitution, integration by parts, and partial fractions;
    sums and Sigma notation, Riemann sums.
  • First-Order Differential Equations(C6a)

    Simple first-order differential equations (separable differential equations) and linear first-order differential equations.
  • Vectors in the Plane and in Space(L1a)

    Equations and parametric (vector) equations for lines in the plane and in space, for planes in space; dot products and cross products; lengths of vectors, distances and angles between vectors.
