Synopsis

This  course  deals  with  the elementary  functions  of  mathematics:
polynomials,  logarithms,  trigonometric  functions,  their  inverses,
arithmetic  combinations  and  compositions  of  these  functions  and
functions  implicitly defined through relationships between them.  The
properties of these functions, the rules for finding their derivatives
and,  where possible, anti-derivatives are developed and used  in  the
solution  of  problems. Linear approximation techniques  are  used  to
solve problems not amenable to algebraic solution.

Systems of linear algebraic equations are formulated and solved  in  a
variety  of  settings. Vector and matrix methods  and  complex  number
arithmetic  are  used to describe and manipulate figures  in  two  and
three  dimensional  space  and to formulate and  solve  problems  from
various fields of application.
