Outcomes and Objectives
- The student will develop an understanding of, calculate with, and apply limits in several contexts.
- Evaluate limits symbolically, numerically and graphically with and without technology.
- Discuss the definition of the limit.
- Explain the relationship between limits and other concepts including continuity, derivatives, and integrals.
- Use L’Hopital’s Rule to evaluate limits.
- The student will develop an understanding of, calculate with, and apply derivatives in several contexts.
- State the definition of the derivative.
- Determine where a function is differentiable and where it is not differentiable.
- Compute elementary derivatives using the limit definition.
- Compute derivatives symbolically, numerically and graphically without technology. Elementary derivatives include polynomials, powers, exponential and logarithmic functions, and trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions.
- Compute derivatives using the power rule, product rule, quotient rule, chain rule and implicit differentiation without technology.
