COURSE DESCRIPTION

Learn to perform differentiation, optimization, and integration like you have never seen before. Students will learn calculus by analyzing case studies, participating in round tables, conducting research, and with many more tools.

COURSE PRE-REQUISITES

Introduction to Calculus: concepts such as factorization, functions, equation-solving techniques, and graph interpretation of functions are required to take Calculus of Functions in One Variable I effectively.
