Differential Calculus (300.A1)

Pre-requisite: Secondary V Mathematics: Technical and Scientific Option (064-506) or Natural Science Option (065-506) This course is a study of change from a mathematical view. Topics covered will include limits and continuity; the definition of the derivative of a function of one variable and the rules for differentiation; implicit differentiation, higher order derivatives, differentials and linear approximations, and l'Hospital's rule. Applications involve curve sketching, maxima and minima, and interpretations of rates of change, and will include problems encountered in the social sciences, especially economics.
