Evaluation scale

0-5

Objective

The object of the course
During this course you will learn the concepts needed to study continuous change and dynamic phenomena. With differential calculus you can study instantaneous rates of change and the slopes of curves. With integral calculus you can study accumulation of quantities and areas bounded by curves. During this course you learn how to use these concepts in applications.

Course competences

EUR-ACE: Knowledge and understanding
