Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this subject, students should be able to:

1. Do calculations with matrices and determinants and use row reduction to solve systems of equations.
2. State the definition of the definite integral and apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
3. Use the various techniques of integration to evaluate a range of integrals.
4. Apply correctly techniques of integral calculus to problems involving some of the following: areas, volumes, work, blood flow, cardiac output, consumer surplus, hydrostatic force.
5. Use the various tests to determine if a series converges and find Taylor and Maclaurin series for functions.
6. Find the dot and cross product of vectors and the equations of lines and planes.
