Goals This course aims to provide a solid foundation in calculus by introducing the fundamental concepts of functions, limits, and derivatives, enabling students to analyze and model real-world phenomena.
Course Content Functions, Limits and Continuity, Derivative and its Applications
Learning Outcomes
# Öğrenme Kazanımı
1 Uses transcendental functions including logarithms, exponentials and inverse trigonometric functions effectively
2 Computes limits and carry out some basic proofs about limits and continuity.
3 Computes derivatives and use it in applications such as computing rates of change, finding extreme values.
4 Solves optimization problems in the field using the concepts of first and second derivatives
5 Analyzes the behavior of functions by determining intervals of increase/decrease, concavity, and asymptotes, and sketches graphs of functions.
