Math 2413 Calculus I Information
LSC-CyFair Math Department
Course Description
Functions, limits, continuity, differentiation and integration of algebraic and trigonometric functions, applications of differentiation and an introduction to applications of the definite integral.
Course Learning Outcomes
The student will:
• Develop solutions for tangent and area problems using the concepts of limits, derivatives, and integrals.
• Draw graphs of algebraic and transcendental functions considering limits, continuity, and differentiability at a point.
• Determine whether a function is continuous and/or differentiable at a point using limits.
• Use differentiation rules to differentiate algebraic and transcendental functions.
• Identify appropriate calculus concepts and techniques to provide mathematical models of real-world situations and determine solutions to applied problems.
• Evaluate definite integrals using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
• Articulate the relationship between derivatives and integrals using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
• Use implicit differentiation to solve related rates problems.
