本課程介紹單變數函數的微分與積分運算，和它們在各領域豐富的應用。微分部分涵蓋極限與連續的定義，微分技巧，和極值問題等.。積分部分包含積分的定義，微積分基本定理，積分技巧，求面積體積，和初步的微分方程等。課堂上我們會講解定義並推導重要定理，以培養學生邏輯推理與分析能力；課堂上也會示範微積分在各領域的應用，幫助學生將微積分與其他專業科目結合。本課程還設有習題課，學生將在助教的帶領下熟練微積分的計算。
Differentiation and Integration, or, collectively, Calculus, on functions of a single variable together with their profound applications in various subject areas are introduced in this course. On differentiation, it includes the definitions of limits and continuity, techniques of differentiation, strategies in solving extreme-value problem and so on; on integration, it includes the definition of integrals, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, techniques of integration, finding areas and volumes, solving elementary differential equations and more.
Definitions are discussed and the most important theorems are derived in the lectures with a view to help students to develop their abilities in logical deduction and analysis. Practical applications of Calculus in various fields are illustrated in order to promote a more organic interaction between the theory of Calculus and students' own fields of study. This course also provides tutorial classes in which students are able to make their skills in handling calculations in Calculus more proficient under the guidance of our teaching assistants.
