Semester 1

This course is designed to provide students with the foundation of mathematical skills involving differential and integral calculus that they will need in their major programs. Topics include: an in-depth study of partial differential equations, curvature, envelopes, evolutes, volume and surface revolution. Emphasis will be placed on both acquiring skills and on gaining a deeper understanding of the concepts behind the techniques. Thus it is applied to Geometry, Mechanics and other branches of Physics and also Social Sciences such as Economics and Psychology.

The course addresses the English language needs of the students at the undergraduate level. The focus will be upon five categories: Prose, Poetry, Vocabulary, Soft Skills and Grammar.  In addition to these, the last two units focus on developing the speaking skills of students. Overall the course will focus upon the critical thinking faculties of the students concerning academic, linguistic, political, literary and ethical concepts.
