MA101 CALCULUS 3-1-0-4 2015
Course Objectives
In this course the students are introduced to some basic tools in Mathematics which are useful in
modelling and analysing physical phenomena involving continuous changes of variables or
parameters. The differential and integral calculus of functions of one or more variables and of vector
functions taught in this course have applications across all branches of engineering. This course will
also provide basic training in plotting and visualising graphs of functions and intuitively
understanding their properties using appropriate software packages.
Syllabus
Single Variable Calculus and Infinite series, Three dimensional spaces, Functions of several variables,
Calculus of vector valued functions, Multiple integrals, and Vector integration.
Expected outcome
At the end of the course the student will be able to model physical phenomena involving continuous
changes of variables and parameters and will also have acquired basic training in visualising graphs
and surfaces using software or otherwise.

TUITORIALS: Tutorials can be ideally conducted by dividing each class in to two groups. Prepare necessary
materials from each module that are to be taught using computer. Use it uniformly to every class.
