Extra Credit

Submit the following to Prof Habib by September 16: Consider the cubic function \(f(x)=x^3+ax^2+bx+c\). Calculate \(\lim\limits_{x\to\pm\infty}\frac{f(x)}{x^3}\)and use this to show that there is a real number \(c\) such that \(f(c)=0\).

Edit on Sep 16: Last date of submission of Extra Credit problem is changed to Friday, Sep  20. Submission must be to Prof Habib. Also note that there are two uses of \(c\) in the problem which is an oversight. Change the second \(c\) to \(d\).

BS Mathematics - Calculus I - Course Instructions



  • The main text for the course is Essential Calculus: Early Transcendentals by James Stewart, 1st edition, Cengage, 2011. Please immediately issue a copy from the Library. You will be required to bring this book to each class.
  • There will be three lectures and two tutorials every week.
  • There will be fortnightly assignments. Part A of each assignment will be discussed in tutorials, and students will be allotted problems for presentation. Part B is meant for written submission. The problems will mainly be assigned from the exercises in Stewart.
  • It is expected that about 10 assignments will be distributed during the course. You will then be allowed to drop your worst two assignment marks.
  • No late submissions will be accepted. The only leeway for taking care of special circumstances is provided by the above-mentioned dropping of your worst two assignment marks.
  • Attendance will be taken in each class. Be aware that SNU requires a minimum of 70% attendance separately in lectures and tutorials. No further waiver is given beyond this 30%, even for illness.
Content:
1. Functions & Graphs, Limits, Continuity, Derivatives, L’Hôpital’s Rule
2.  Higher derivatives, Maxima/ Minima, Curve sketching
3. Area & Integration, Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Techniques of integration, Improper integrals
4. Applications to Area, Volume, Arc-Length
5. Parametric Equations and Polar Coordinates
6. Several variables: Level curves, limits & continuity, partial derivatives, tangent planes, chain rule, directional derivative, gradient, Maxima/Minima, Lagrange multipliers
