COLLEGE MATHEMATICS*

概要

Calculus is a branch of mathematics that deals with change and motion. In its core, calculus revolves around the definition, analysis, and application of derivatives and integrals of functions. Calculus is a fundamentally important subject, and as such, it is widely used in a great variety of fields, including science, economics, or engineering, naming just a few. Students participating in this course are introduced to the essential concepts, techniques, and applications of calculus. Topics covered in the course include, but are not necessarily limited to: functions and limits, derivatives, integrals, and infinite series.
