Syllabus for PBSARC 012 (20-2-X0265), Differential
and Integral Calculus
Instructor: Atty./Engr. Richard V. Gomez
E-mail: 1972.richardgomez@gmail.com
Meeting times and location: via LMS/online
Course Objectives: Students completing the course should be able to recognize and
use the following concepts and methods of calculus when they occur in their
disciplines:
- Differentiation: definition via limits, derivations rules, applications including
optimization.
- Basic functions (exp and log, trig and inverse trig) and their derivatives.
- Integration: antiderivatives and integration by substitution, integration by parts,
definite integral,
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
Textbook: Differential and Integral Calculus 6th edition.By Love and Rainville
Calculators : Calculators are NOT permitted on quizzes, mid-term
exams and the final exam.
Academic Honesty: Collaboration on quizzes, mid-term exams and final exam is
not allowed. A necessary prerequisite to the attainment of the goals of the
University is maintaining complete honesty in all academic work. Students are
expected to present as their own only that which is clearly their own work in tests
and in any material submitted for credit. Students may assist others in doing work .
Important:
1) Any student with a disability is encouraged to meet with the instructor during
the first week of classes to discuss accommodations..
2) If you have conflicts with an important class activity (quiz, mid-term, or final),
you should let your instructor know ahead before the introduction of new topics.
You should also show an excused letter to your instructor.
Syllabus: Syllabus is subject to change. It is your responsibility to be aware of any
changes the instructor may make to the syllabus as they are announced in class.
Students are responsible for all information given when they are absent.
