More specifically, this course presents the basic concepts and methods of linear algebra, geometry and calculus. AIMS AND CONTENT SYLLABUS/CONTENT Overview of elementary set theory. Brief introduction to vectors and analytic geometry in 2 and 3 dimensions. Overview of complex numbers and polynomials (divisibility and roots). Functions. Graphs of elementary functions. Function composition. Inverse functions. Concept of limit. Continuous functions. Concept of the derivative, and rules for finding the derivative. Higher derivatives and their geometrical interpretation. Real-valued functions and their graphs. Definite integrals and the area of planar regions. Brief introduction to differential equations. The indefinite integral of a function. Integrals of elementary functions. Matrices and their operations; determinants and matrix inverse. Linear systems; gaussian reduction.
