Learning Objectives -- Calculus I
Students will
- know basic classes of functions, and be able to talk about
their differing characteristics, properties, domains, etc., including elements
of periodicity, symmetry, and asymptotics.
- understand the fundamental concept of the derivative, in terms of how it
is defined, how it is computed, and how it helps us with optimization, rates of
change, the shape of a graph.
- understand how to compute higher-order derivatives, and their roles in
graphs and problem-solving.
- compute derivatives of functions using various techniques, including
direct, implicit, and chain-rule.
- be able to set up equations to solve story problems, and other problems
involving reasoning with the derivative.
