Course This course is designed to give introduction to the ground knowledge of basic calculus along with concept of
Description motion and rate of change of the bodies and calculating velocities, acceleration and areas by evaluating derivatives
and different integration techniques. Firstly, course reviews some basic concepts of complex numbers, functions
and curves, evaluating limit of the function of single variable, concept of continuity of the function and derivatives
of the functions. Secondly different integrations techniques have been utilized to find the areas under the curve in
form of definite integrals. Main applications are in 2D computer graphics, computer programing and games
software development. Handling computer software’s like MATLAB, C++ & Mathematica is the additional gain of
this course. The course will help students in learning basic concepts, theories, and applications like calculating
areas, finding velocities and accelerations.
It includes the following major topics;
- complex numbers
- Functions
- Limit and Continuity
- Derivative and its applications
- Integration and its applications
