Objectives

At the completion of this course, you should be able to

• use computer technology appropriately to investigate functions and their graphs, and recognize the limitations of such invstigations
• recognize limiting processes, calculate limits and use limits to find asymptotes, discuss continuity, etc.
• calculate the derivative of any combination of elementary functions, including those given implicitly or parametrically
• use derivatives to describe graphs of functions and to analyse them in detail
• model and solve simple real-world problems involving rates of change, extrema, etc. using derivatives
• demonstrate an overall understanding of the basic concepts of differential calculus and an ability to analyse problems beyond the performance of routine calculations.
