Course Objectives Calculus is the branch of mathematics that deals with rates of change and motion. It grew out of a desire

to understand various physical phenomena, such as the orbits of planets, and the effects of gravity. The

immediate success of calculus in formulating physical laws and predicting their consequences led to

development of a new division in mathematics called analysis, of which calculus remains a large part.

Today, calculus is the essential language of science and engineering, providing the means by which

physical laws are expressed in mathematical terms.

Calculus divides naturally into two parts, differential calculus and integral calculus. Differential

calculus is concerned with finding the instantaneous rate at which one quantity changes with respect to

another, called the derivative of the first quantity with respect to the second. Integral calculus deals with

the inverse of the derivative, namely, finding a function when its rate of change is known.

Course Outcomes The usefulness of calculus is indicated by its widespread application. For example, it is used in the

design of navigation systems, particle accelerators, and synchrotron light sources. It is used to predict

rocket trajectories, and the orbits of communications satellites. Calculus is the mathematical tool used to

test theories about the origins of the universe, the development of tornadoes and hurricanes,

and salt fingering in the oceans. It has even found extensive application in business, where it is used,

among other things, to optimize production.

Thus, as a result, students will learn basic theory of calculus and its applications in real life.

Course Objectives Numerical Analysis is the study of algorithms using numerical

approximations for the problems of mathematical analysis.
