This program will provide a solid understanding of differential and integral calculus. On completion of the program, the students should be able to apply calculus concepts to a variety of problems. In addition, the program provides a foundation to linear algebra and its applications. Finally, on completion of the program, the students should gain a solid foundation in more advanced mathematical topics such as either discrete mathematics or vector calculus.
