Course Learning Outcomes
By completion of this course, successful students will be able to:
- Develop a strategic overview of a mathematical problem and use problems solving skills to analyze the problem
- Use calculus to model some real world problems mathematically and interpret solutions as well as communicate results to a general audience
- Observe that there are several useful techniques to tackle a given mathematical problem: graphically, algebraically or numerically, then decide the most useful or most appropriate technique for solving the problem
- Determine if using technology tools and/or software is or is not appropriate to solve or analyze a given problem
- Recognize the vital role of calculus not only in Science and Engineering; but also in the wider world (Social, Health, Economics, Business...Etc.)
