A successful completion of this course should enable you to:
differentiate all the usual algebraic and transcendental functions and combinations thereof
find elementary antiderivatives and do several applications
sketch curves using derivatives, symmetry, asymptotes, etc.
apply the derivative in solving word problems such as approximations, related rates, optimization, growth and decay
EVALUATION:
Midterm exams
Assignments
Final Exam
45% (two at 22.5% each)

Note: It is departmental policy that a student must pass the final exam in order to pass the course. Furthermore, term marks may be adjusted in some sections after a comparison of the term and final exam marks of all sections. The Mathematics and Statistics Department has adopted the following guidelines for use in determining final letter grades.
