Calculus is based on the calculus learnt at school. It will develop a deeper understanding, a stronger grasp of the techniques, and further topics that are not included in A level syllabuses. This includes in particular the extension of methods of calculus to functions of two or more variables. The course also introduces symbolic computing via the software package MAPLE as a helpful tool to solve mathematical problems. Applications of MAPLE in Calculus will be stressed throughout. The logical foundations of calculus are not included in this unit; they are developed in the companion unit Analysis. The course will concentrate more on general ideas and methods, rather than rigorous logical development.
