2026–2027 UPEI Calendar course entry checked on 25 October 2026. The calendar description establishes topics, not an instructor’s current weekly plan.
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.
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. Numerical/graphical exploration and indeterminate-form techniques are not covered.
An original worked example
Find lim as x→2 of (x² + 3x - 1).
Worked solution
Answer: 9
- Polynomials are continuous everywhere.
- 2² + 3(2) - 1 = 9.
