Course Objectives Calculus is the branch of mathematics that deals with rates of change and motion. It grew out of a desire
to understand various physical phenomena, such as the orbits of planets, and the effects of gravity. The
immediate success of calculus in formulating physical laws and predicting their consequences led to
development of a new division in mathematics called analysis, of which calculus remains a large part.
Today, calculus is the essential language of science and engineering, providing the means by which
physical laws are expressed in mathematical terms.
Calculus divides naturally into two parts, differential calculus and integral calculus. Differential
calculus is concerned with finding the instantaneous rate at which one quantity changes with respect to
another, called the derivative of the first quantity with respect to the second. Integral calculus deals with
the inverse of the derivative, namely, finding a function when its rate of change is known.
Course Outcomes The usefulness of calculus is indicated by its widespread application. For example, it is used in the
design of navigation systems, particle accelerators, and synchrotron light sources. It is used to predict
rocket trajectories, and the orbits of communications satellites. Calculus is the mathematical tool used to
test theories about the origins of the universe, the development of tornadoes and hurricanes,
and salt fingering in the oceans. It has even found extensive application in business, where it is used,
among other things, to optimize production.
Thus, as a result, students will learn basic theory of calculus and its applications in real life.

Course Objectives This course aims to introduce students to the following concepts and cognitive
skills:
The definition of different types and families of graphs. The application of a graph as a
mathematical model for many real life situations. The definition of isomorphism of
graphs. Exploring different types of subgraphs of a graph. The definition of basic
concepts related to graphs and graph operations. Representation of a graph using
adjacency and incidence matrices. Computing the number of spanning trees of a graph
using the matrix tree theorem and the deletion contraction method. Prim’s and
Kruskal’s Algorithms to construct Minimum Spanning Trees. Introduce coding and
discuss "What is coding?" and "Why do we use it?". Discuss simple error models,
Hamming distance, and coding gain. Introduce the student to applications in
Communication, Weight of code word, and Distance between the code word.
