Learning Outcomes

Edit Learning Outcomes Content

Students who successfully complete the course should be able to:

  • .

    Describe what a function is/does. Be able to draw its graph.

    State the definition of the derivative and give physical/geometrical interpretations of it.

    Know how to use basic rules of differentiation (eg, sum, product, quotient, chain) to differentiate functions.

    Apply differentiation to determine the maximum and minimum of functions, including in engineering applications.

    Be able to calculate Taylor series for simple functions.

    Calculate indefinite and definite integrals of simple functions.

    Be able to integrate using the methods of substitution, integration by parts, and partial fractions. Be able to recognise which technique to use.

    Use integration to help setup and solve engineering applications and problems.

    Know and use properties of the logarithm and exponential functions, particularly in solving engineering-based problems.

    Solve problems involving first-order separable differential equations.
