This course introduces the student to functions involving one variable, library of functions, transformation graphing techniques, in depth study of polynomials and rational functions, composite and inverse functions and their properties, exponential and logarithmic functions and their properties, exponential models, systems of linear equations, partial fraction decompositions, trigonometric functions and trigonometric applications, basic limit and continuity theory, the derivative and their applications, integration techniques and applications, and integration involving partial fraction decompositions.

On completion of this course, it is expected that the student will be proficient with:

systems of linear equations; polynomials functions and rational functions; transcendentals; mathematical modelling; limit theory; the derivative and its applications; and integration theory and its applications.
