Due to overwhelming demand, Brighton College is reintroducing its highly sought-after special offer this spring – academic courses which start on April 29, 2024 until August 9, 2024. Don't pass up the chance to seize this engaging and valuable educational opportunity. Brighton College proudly presents three courses:
Calculus is a key “must-take” course for those seeking a higher education program that leads to an exciting fulfilling career in science and technology. MATH 101 will be taught be by Dr. Amir Amiraslani, who holds a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics (University of Western Ontario).
This course is designed to provide a comprehensive exploration of differential calculus, particularly for students specializing in science and engineering. The course covers a broad spectrum of topics essential for a foundational understanding of calculus, including limits and continuity, derivatives, and differentiation techniques encompassing algebraic, trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions. Through a rigorous curriculum, students will learn to evaluate problems involving limits using various techniques, describe the concept of continuity, and interpret derivatives both as the instantaneous rate of change and as the slope of the tangent line. Additionally, the course delves into advanced applications of derivatives, such as optimization, related rates, Newton’s method, and linear approximations. Topics such as parametric equations and polar coordinates are explored, along with comprehensive reviews of precalculus concepts. Throughout the course, students will engage in problem-solving exercises, applying mathematical models to real-world scenarios and developing critical analytical skills necessary for success in scientific and engineering disciplines.
