The aim of the course is to give a basic introduction to calculus one variable. Particular emphasis is put on the role that the subject plays in applications in different areas of technology, in order to give the future engineer a good foundation for further studies in mathematics as well as in other subjects. The aim as also to develop the student's ability to solve problems, to assimilate mathematical text and to communicate mathematics.

Further information: Calculus in One Variable is taught and examined in two versions, track A (the courses Calculus in One Variable A1-A3) and track B (the courses Calculus in One Variable B1-B2) respectively, depending on the student's programme. The goals are the same. The present course belongs to track B. A student who has enrolled in this course may not later enrol in courses from track A. Before the written retake exams it will be possible to retake the computer quizzes or the assignment, if needed.
