Calculus

**MATH 119 -** **COURSE SYLLABUS** 


 * Course Code: ** MATH 119
 * Course Title: ** Calculus I (Differential Calculus)
 * Intended for: ** BSIT NW Second Year, BSCS SD Second Year, BSCS ND Second Year
 * Credit Units: ** Three (3) Units
 * Pre-requisite: ** Math 102 / Math 105


 * Course Description: **

This courser introduces to students the fundamentals of Calculus: limits, continuity and derivatives. This course assumes a thorough understanding of concepts on analytic geometry and trigonometry. The use of graphing calculators and computer algebra systems is highly encouraged.

The course is intended to provide students with knowledge about the fundamentals of calculus. It enables the students to use the process of differentiation in solving problems.
 * General Objective: **

At the end of the semester, students are expected to:
 * Specific Objective: **
 * set up formulas showing the functional relation between the variables.
 * obtain the limits of more complicated functions which are assuming the indeterminate forms.
 * find the value or values of x for which the function is discontinuous.
 * sketch the graph of different functions and determine its vertical and horizontal asymptote.
 * find the derivative of the functions.
 * find the slope of a tangent to the curve at the given point.
 * find dy/dx (derivative) following the rules of differentiation.
 * determine dy/dx of composite functions using the chain rule.
 * use the inverse function rule to find dy/dx
 * give the higher derivatives of the given function.
 * differentiate implicitly.
 * find the equations of tangents and normals to the graph of the given point.
 * find the acute angle between the given curves
 * find the interval or intervals where the function is increasing or decreasing in the given interval.
 * find the value or values of x, for which the given function has a point of inflection.
 * obtain the values of x for which the curve of the given function has a point of inflection.
 * give the maximum, minimum of the inflection point of each curve.
 * use the process of differentiation as an application in solving problems related to maxima and minima, related rates and rectilinear motion.
 * determine the derivative of: (1) trigonometric functions; (2) inverse trigonometric functions; (3) logarithmic functions; (4) exponential functions; (5) hyperbolic functions; and (6) inverse hyperbolic functions
 * verify the three conditions of the hypothesis of Rolle’s Theorem are satisfied by the given function on the given interval and find the value of which satisfies the conclusion of the theorem.
 * use the Mean Theorem in proving.
 * evaluate limits of a quotient of two functions when the numerator and denominator approach zero.

Classroom discussion, discovery, investigation, application of softwares, GeoAlgebra, Sketchpad and Scientific Notebook. Quizzes, recitation / board works, assignments, problem sets, periodic exams (midterm/finals), reaction papers. The following shall be used as the basis for giving grades: Quizzes – 30% Attendance/Recitation – 20% Projects/Assignments – 20% The Final Grade will be computed based on the 50 – 50 policy (50% of the Midterm + 50% of the Tentative Final Grade)
