MA104 introduces the core concepts of differential and integral calculus, including limits, derivatives, integrals, and their applications. Students develop the ability to analyze and model change in one variable, solve real-world optimization and accumulation problems, and interpret the results of mathematical models. The course emphasizes conceptual understanding, problem-solving, and communication of results, with applications that may be drawn from areas such as the natural sciences, social sciences, engineering, and real-world decision-making contexts.
