Course alignment and coverage

2026/2027 undergraduate calendar course description checked on 25 October 2026. The department’s linked outline list includes older years; it is not used as a current section syllabus.

Across this collection: 140 distinct original families and 420 parameter instances. Courses share topic banks; translations and shared mappings are not extra questions.

Supported learning objectives

  • Limits

    Evaluate a limit using substitution, factoring or rationalization.

  • Continuity

    Find missing values and compare one-sided limits.

  • Polynomial derivatives

    Apply the power rule and interpret a derivative.

  • Product rule

    Differentiate polynomial products and identify missing terms.

  • Chain rule

    Differentiate composite polynomial functions.

  • Tangent lines

    Connect slope, point and tangent-line equation.

  • Implicit differentiation

    Differentiate a curve and evaluate a local slope.

  • Related rates

    Relate changing lengths, areas, volumes and distances.

  • Linear approximation

    Use a tangent model and estimate a differential.

  • Optimization

    Locate and check a maximum or minimum in a stated domain.

  • Algebra essentials

    Solve linear equations, expand products, factor a quadratic and identify an inequality boundary.

  • Functions and domains

    Evaluate and compose functions, invert a linear function and find a square-root domain endpoint.

  • Powers and logarithms

    Evaluate integer powers and logarithms, apply a doubling model and solve an equal-base equation.

  • Trigonometry foundations

    Convert degrees to radians, use a right-triangle ratio and find a sine period. Numeric answers only.

  • Polynomial antiderivatives

    Reverse the power rule and use a stated constant or initial value. Exact fractional coefficients are supported.

  • Definite integrals and average value

    Evaluate elementary polynomial integrals, distinguish signed accumulation and compute an average value.

What is not covered

Selected single-variable and polynomial foundations only. Trigonometric/logarithmic derivatives, quotient-rule exercises, formal proofs, complete curve sketching and long modelling tasks are not covered. Elementary function evaluation is not equivalent to differentiating those functions. Substitution integration is part of the official course but not this bank.

An original worked example

Solve 2x+3=9. Enter x.

Worked solution

Answer: 3

  1. 2x=6.
  2. Divide by 2: x=3.
