General Description of the Unit
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 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.
