2014 MAT132 8B (AUG) - INTI IU, NILAI, MALAYSIA is a English group. Having alot of group type in Facebook: close, open and secret and it is a CLOSED group. There are 26 participants in that group. So people rank it like a Tiny group. You can find this group by searching 712900665430150 on Google, Bing or Yahoo. Last update is on 2015-02-26 10:59:08.
To set our group icon as a sun flower is to indicate our group is knowledge-based, a closed group with everyone of us is an adminstrator and I, Koong Wai Keong is the instructor cum the founder of the Class of MAT132 8B (AUG2014).
The cover photo of us shows my heartiest sincerity to pray for safe prayer to all of you here and for sure warm welcome for all of you! Cheers! :)
Calculus, in general, stresses on three (3) aspects, namely differentiation, integration & limit manipulation. For Calculus 1, or officially MAT132, we focus on three (3) main scopes.
(1) Applications of Differentiation
(a) graphing,
(b) optimization,
(c) rate of change,
(d) linear approximation, &
(e) quadratic approximation
In encountering each of the above listed application, we are to have maths foundation rebuild to know-why all knowledge we learnt during secondary maths classes by consolidating our skills in solving inequalities, revisiting concepts of functions, domain of a function, range of a function & continutity of a function, and know deeply various special functions such as piece-wise defined functions (e.g. absolute value functions and integer functions), dealing with trigonometric identities, using limit (1st principle) and rules (e.g. product, quotient, chain rules and other rules) to find derivatives of a function, asymptote finding in the scope of graphing, and various techniques to solve limits.
(2) Applications of Integrations
(a) Area of the region between 2 curves
(b) Volume of the revolved solid (either about the x-, or y-axes)
(c) Arc length of a stretch of a curve, &
(d) Surface area of a revolved solid (either about the x-, or y-axes)
(3) Theories on Continutity (Rolle's theorem, and Intermediate theorem), Differentiabilty (Mean Value theorem) & Integrabilty (The fundamental theorems of Integral Calculus, Riemann's integrals, and sigma notations).
In short, the course consists of 50% theory and 50% application.
I wish we may have an enjoyable journey in getting started to Calculus for our very 1st varsity learning and teaching of calculus! Cheers! ♥
