Calculus I
Functions of one variable. Limits, derivatives of functions defined by graphs, tables and formulas, differentiation rules for power, polynomial, exponential and logarithmic functions, derivatives of trigonometric functions, the product and quotient rule, the chain rule, applications of the chain rule, maxima and minima, optimization.
Calculus II
Definite integrals, theorems about integrals, anti-derivatives, second fundamental theorem of calculus, techniques of integration, introduction to ordinary differential equations, improper integrals, numerical methods of integration, applications of integration, sequences, series, power series, approximations of functions via Taylor polynomials, Taylor series.
Calculus III
Multivariable Calculus. Analysis of functions of several variables, vector valued functions, partial derivatives and multiple integrals. Optimization techniques, parametric equations, line integrals, surface integrals and major theorems concerning their applications.
Calculus IV
Calculus of vector fields: the various differential operators (grad, curl, div) that can be applied to a function or vector field, types of integrals of vector fields (line integrals, surface integrals), and the fundamental theorems (Green, Stokes, divergence or Gauss) relating differentiation and integration of vector fields. The last part of the course is an introduction to the theory of functions of a complex variable. This theory is important in many applications of mathematics, physics, and engineering.
