Course Description:
The course reviews the concepts of basic calculus; including Limits, continuity,
differentiation and integration. A brief account of three dimensional geometry and
complex numbers is also included as pre-calculus review. Stress is laid on
applications of differentiation and integration to practical/engineering problems.
Convergence/divergence of the sequence and series are included towards the end
of the syllabus.
Course Objectives:
The course objective is that its successful completion should develop
understanding of the basic concepts of analytical geometry involving limits,
continuity, differentiation and integration for solving the real world problems
and analyzing the convergence/divergence of sequence and series.
Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs):
At the end of the course the students will be able to:

Grading Policy:
Quiz Policy:
The quizzes will be unannounced and normally last for ten minutes.
The question framed is to test the concepts involved in last few
lectures. Number of quizzes that will be used for evaluation is at the
instructors discretion. Grading for quizzes will be on a fixed scale of
0 to 10. A score of 10 indicates an exceptional attempt towards the
answer and a score of 1 indicates your answer is entirely wrong but

Assignment
Policy:
Plagiarism:
you made a reasonable effort towards the solution. Scores in

between indicate very good (8-9), good (6-7), satisfactory (4-5), and
poor (2-3) attempt. Failure to make a reasonable effort to answer a
question scores a 0.
In order to develop comprehensive understanding of the subject,
assignments will be given. Late assignments will not be accepted /
graded. All assignments will count towards the total (No best-of
policy). The students are advised to do the assignment themselves.
Copying of assignments is highly discouraged and violations will be
dealt with severely by referring any occurrences to the disciplinary
committee. The questions in the assignment are meant to be
challenging to give students confidence and extensive knowledge
about the subject matter and enable them to prepare for the exams.
SEECS maintains a zero tolerance policy towards plagiarism. While
collaboration in this course is highly encouraged, you must ensure
that you do not claim other peoples work/ ideas as your own.
Plagiarism occurs when the words, ideas, assertions, theories,
figures, images, programming codes of others are presented as your
own work. You must cite and acknowledge all sources of information
in your assignments. Failing to comply with the SEECS plagiarism
policy will lead to strict penalties including zero marks in
assignments and referral to the academic coordination office for
disciplinary action.
