Teaching Method
Outline:
Calculus is necessary not only for mathematics but also for science and engineering.
Based on the first grade mathematics, students on the second grade will learn calculus in one variable for a year.
In this course (the first semester), students will learn about differential (derivative) and its application.
Style:
In advance, students should review the first grade mathematics.
It is recommended to prepare what you will learn in the next class hour.
Lecture and exercise are carried out in each class hour.
It is necessary to review early and repeatedly what you have learned.
Keep deadlines for homework and other submissions.
Notice:
Mini-exams will be carried out up to several times.
Evaluations will be made comprehensively by written exams (making up about 70% of the grade), by exercises and homework (making up about 30% of the grade).
Can take makeup exam in need aid up to maximum of 50 points.
