COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is the second course in calculus, designed primarily for students in mathematics,
pure and applied sciences. However, it also meets the need of students in other fields. The
courses focus is to impart useful skills on the students in order to enhance their knowledge in
1
methods of solving mathematical problems and prepare them for other specialised applications to
be encountered at higher levels. Topics to be covered include real-valued function of a real
variable, review of differentiation and integration and their applications, mean value theorem,
Taylor series, real-value functions of two or three variable, partial derivatives, chain rule,
extrema, Lagranges multiplier, increment, differentials and linear approximations, evaluation of
linear integral.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this course are to:
enable the students to have knowledge of calculus in the area of pure and applied
mathematics.
solve real life problems in field of sciences and engineering.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Attendance: It is expected that every student will be in class for lectures and also participate in
all practical exercises. Attendance records will be kept and used to determine each persons
qualification to sit for the final examination. In case of illness or other unavoidable cause of
absence, the student must communicate as soon as possible with any of the instructors, indicating
the reason for the absence.
Code of Conduct in Lecture Rooms and Laboratories: Students should turn off their cell phones
during lectures. Students are prohibited from engaging in other activities (such as texting,
watching videos, etc.) during lectures. Food and drinks are not permitted in the laboratories.

COURSE OUTLINE
Week Topic Remarks
1 Real-valued function of a real variable During this first class, the
expectation of the students from the
course will be to comprehend the
basic concept of a derivative of a
function.
2-3 Review of differentiation and their applications During the lecture, the expectation of
the students from the course will be
to be able to differentiate functions
that are defined explicitly and
implicitly, then apply it.
Review of integration and their applications During the lecture, the expectation of
3-4 the students from the course will be
to be able to comprehend the in-
depth methods of integration as an
inverse of differentiation, its
techniques and the area of its
application to real life situation.
4
10 Extrema and Langrange multiplier Students should be able solve real
life problems using extrema and
Lagrange multiplier.
