This is a very practical course which teaches you about the applications of Calculus in real life beyond the boundaries of textbooks. You will learn about these situations under the supervision of a professional practitioner.
Applications of derivatives, integral equations, differential equations, mathematical models and parameters and single variable calculus will be focused in this course. As this is an advanced course, so you will need to be familiar with the basics of Calculus.
Assessment
This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer need to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.
