TOCB1103 — Calculus II
Course description
This is the second of two courses in the calculus sequence. This course is designed to equip learners with basic knowledge of differential equations, series theory, partial derivatives, and multiple integrals. The course also aims to train thinking ability, calculation skills, and improve the ability to apply mathematical knowledge to analyze and research problems in economics and business. The module equips learners with the necessary knowledge, skills, and competencies to study related subjects in the training program and continue to higher education.
The content of the course consists of 4 chapters:
Chapter 1: Differential and difference equations
Chapter 2: Sequence, Series, and Power Series
Chapter 3: Partial derivatives
Chapter 4: Multiple integrals
Course requirements
Requirements for Final Examination
Students are allowed to take the final/terminal exams (50%) if their attendance score (10%) is 5 or higher (on a 10-point scale).
See Appendix 2, Rubric 1 for attendance evaluation.
Requirements for Class Attendance
Students are responsible for attending all classes. In case of absence due to force majeure, students must provide sufficient and reasonable proof. For each absence, 1 point will be deducted from the attendance score. Students who miss more than 3 classes, with or without valid reasons, will be considered as failing to complete the course and must re-register.
Students will be awarded points for constructive comments. These points will be added to attendance and group assignment scores.
Groups that do not submit their group work will receive a score of 0. Late submissions will incur a deduction for each day they are late.
Requirements for In-class Behaviour
The course is conducted on the principle of mutual respect between learners and lecturers. Any behavior that disrupts the teaching and learning process is strictly prohibited.
Students must arrive on time for class. Those who are more than 10 minutes late will not be allowed to attend. Noise and other disturbances that affect the learning process are not permitted.
Laptops and tablets may only be used for taking notes and performing calculations related to lectures and exercises. Use for any other purpose is strictly prohibited.
