-
Solve and geometrically interpret systems of linear equations.
-
Use vector algebra to evaluate projections, distance, areas and volumes.
-
Sketch the graph of a function using asymptotes, critical points, the derivative test for increasing/decreasing functions, and concavity.
-
Apply differentiation to solve applied max/min problems for functions of one variable.
-
Use L'Hospital's rule to evaluate certain indefinite forms.
-
Evaluate integrals using techniques of integration, such as substitution, and integration by parts.
-
Use the methods of integration to evaluate areas and volumes.
-
Solve first order differential equation.
-

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
