Objectives of the Course
|
This course aims to teach the differential part of single variable Calculus by
- Providing fundamental knowledge and skills to analyze the behavior of a single variable function in every aspect
-Constructing theoretical and conceptual understanding of essential mathematical tools to study single variable calculus.
- Developing the ability to relate calculus to biology with the aid of examples drawn from many areas of biology, including genetics, biomechanics, medicine, pharmacology, physiology, ecology, epidemiology, and evolution, to name a few.

Course Content
|
This course is an introduction to single variable calculus for students studying life sciences and covers the fundamentals and applications of differentiation. In this context, taking limits of functions, differentiating, optimizing and graphing functions are being taught. By the end of the semester, the students will be able to analyze the behavior of a single variable function by means of limits and differentiation.
