Course Overview
Calculus is a course designed for students with good algebra skills. Calculus is about using mathematics to solve problems. It models real-life situations using trigonometry, real and complex numbers, functions and their graphs and uses the power of calculus to solve a wide range of everyday problems involving change. Calculus is the essential prerequisite for students planning on studying engineering at university.
