Calculus is a foundational, university-entrance-level mathematics subject and serves as a prerequisite for most advanced university-level mathematics courses. The primary goal of this course is to equip students with essential concepts and techniques in calculus, while fostering rigorous analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. Emphasis will be placed on developing a solid understanding of limits, derivatives, and integrals.
能力項目說明
Students will develop the ability to compute limits and derivatives, apply differentiation to solve practical problems, perform integration using standard and advanced techniques, and apply integration in various contexts. In addition, they will gain familiarity with foundational results in calculus, including the Extreme Value Theorem, the Mean Value Theorem, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
