MST10020 Calculus II

Academic Year 2023/2024

This module builds-on, and extends, the skills and concepts introduced in Calculus 1. In addition, the basic concepts of maxima and minima, the definite and indefinite integral, logarithmic and exponential function are introduced and discussed. As in Calculus 1 there will be two mains areas of emphasis throughout the course: firstly in developing the student's basic skills in the techniques of Calculus, while secondly, enriching their understanding of the basic concepts.

Learning Outcomes:

On completion of this module the student should be able to:-Demonstrate that he or she has mastered the techniques of Calculus. For example, the student should be able to optimize and integrate various classes of functions and manipulate expressions involving the exponential and natural logarithm function. Describe the concepts of Calculus and explain how they relate to each other. More generally, students should be able to recognise, read and correctly use standard mathematical symbols and notation. They should be able to ask pertinent questions, to decide which questions are relevant, answerable and so on. They must understand the reasoning behind any methods or procedures they use and be able to demonstrate that understanding. Students must also be able to produce examples themselves, in order to illustrate a definition, show a method, or test boundaries of an idea.
