Text: Single Variable Calculus by Stewart 7^th Edition ISBN: 9780538497831

This is the first in the sequence of calculus courses for scientists and mathematicians. It covers the basic concepts of differentiation and integration of real algebraic or trigonometric functions of one variable. A good background in basic mathematics is required.

Material to be covered:

Practice problems and exercises will be assigned at the end of each lecture. The student is expected to read the appropriate sections and to do all assigned exercises. The student will find this course very difficult if he or she neglects the homework assignments.
