The primary objective of this course is to introduce students to the fundamental concepts of Calculus, with an emphasis on Differential and Integral Calculus. The course aims to equip students with essential mathematical tools necessary for understanding and solving problems encountered in Chemistry and related scientific disciplines. Students will explore key topics including functions, limits, continuity, derivatives, integrals, and basic differential equations. Emphasis is placed on developing the ability to interpret and model real-world problems using mathematical principles. The knowledge acquired will provide a solid foundation for advanced studies in science and engineering courses.
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Understand and describe the fundamental concepts of functions, limits, and continuity.
- Compute and interpret derivatives and integrals of elementary functions.
- Apply differential calculus to analyze and model rates of change in scientific problems.
- Apply integral calculus to compute areas, volumes, and other quantities relevant to chemistry and physics.
- Formulate and solve simple differential equations arising in chemical and physical contexts.
- Develop problem-solving skills by applying calculus techniques to real-world scenarios in Chemistry.
- Recognize the role of mathematics as a key analytical tool in scientific reasoning and modeling.
