VIII-Objectives: We teach calculus, vector and geometry in this course. Students

embarking on such courses diverse to different core subjects- engineering (EEE,
chemical, civil, architectural), -computer (COE, CSE, CIS) biological (molar
and genetic) engineering-like those in UK and USA.
We have therefore decided and constituted a course syllabus that assume
knowledge only of material that can be expected to be familiar to all the current
generation of students starting physical science and engineering courses at
universities.
We aimed at building up a basic foundation of mathematical precision and tools
essential for growing engineers and also the hierarchy of mathematical materials
for engineers of research in future.
Teaching Strategy: The general aim of our pedagogy is staged in three phasesfirst is a qualitative introduction from a physical point of view,- second is a
formal presentation avoiding deliberately the mathematical tougher materials on
the ground that- This is the real world; we must behave reasonably. Finally
we worked out some problems fully drawn from physical science and
engineering.
