Outline & References Course Outline
Week1: Intro and motivation. Functions and their imverse: definition, domain, and range Week2-3: Inverse Functions: definition, domain, and range with the connections of f to f^-1, sequences, limits (definitions, techniques, and examples), and continuity (definitions, techniques, and examples), Logs and exponentials, Week4-5: Limits as n,x-->infinity and applications to interest compounded continuously, horizontal and vertical asymptotes, indetermiminate limits, Properties of continuous functions, IVT and applications, the derivative (definition, slopes, and rates of change) Week 6: Continuing rules and techniques of differentiation (Chain, the derivative of f^-1 from that of f and the log derivative, [f(x)]^g(x)). Review for Test I. week 7-8: Optimization (critical points and local optima, first and second derivative tests, and absolute optima). Linear and higher order polynomial approximations Week 9-12: Antiderivatives (Precise definition), Antiderivatives Rules (Anti-Chain, Anti-Power-Chain, Anti- product (integration by parts) and its quick version in special cases, antiderrivative of inverse trig functions, by trig substitution, and antiderivative by partial fractions.) Week 13: Finishing off antiderivative by partial fractions, start Riemann Sums and definite integral, and review for test II.
