Course description
This course is basically for 1st-year undergraduate students only. If you are in 2nd or higher year and would like to register this course, please contact the lecturer via email: ikegami@shibaura-it.ac.jp

This is an introductory course on calculus followed by Calculus II and Calculus III. You will study the basics of derivatives and integrals through tangent lines and areas of regions as well as the basic connection between derivatives and integrals through the fundamental theorem of calculus. You will also learn how to compute derivatives and integrals of various functions such as polynomials, trigonometric functions, exponentials and logarithms as well as the chain rule, the substitution rule, and integration by parts while how to use differentiation to compute maximum and minimum values of a function, and to investigate the shape of the graph of a function. People with enough background and understanding of the mathematics at the IB higher level do not need to take this course.
Purpose of class
Together with Calculus II, you are expected to obtain skills, knowledge, and understandings of basics of one-variable calculus, which are widely used in science and engineering.
