Mathematics 2Laajuus (5 cr)

Objectives

The students learn the fundamental elements of differential and integral calculus. They understand the derivative as instantaneous rate of change and as a descriptor of the properties of the function, as well as how to apply integrals through using the method of small differentials. The students are able to use their skills in solving technical and accounting problems.

Content

Exponential and logarithm functions and equations, derivate as instantaneous rate of change, the calculation of derivates graphically, numerically and through formulas. Differential in miscalculations, extreme values and the function, the calculation of the integral graphically, numerically and through formulas, applying integrals by using the method of small differentials, differential function and its elementary events, using mathematics software.
