Critical Performance:

By the end of this course, students will have demonstrated the 
ability to use the rules of differentiation and integration and apply 
these skills in the application of technical problems.

Learning Outcomes:

To achieve the critical performance, students will have demonstrated 
the ability to:

 1. Choose, formulate and analyze mathematical models algebraically, 
numerically or graphically to solve non-linear mathematical problems 
of applications specific to the architectural technologist.
 2. Calculate the derivative of a polynomial function from the first 
principles of calculus.
 3.  Differentiate polynomial and trigonometric functions including 
using the product and quotient rule and the chain rule.
 4.  Interpret first order and higher order derivatives.
 5.  Apply curve sketching to the context of derivatives.
 6.  Use graphing programs to understand functions and their 
derivatives.
 7.  Solve problems of instanteous change.
 8.  Solve applied maximum and minimum problems.
 9.  Solve applied marginal cost problems.
10.  Find antiderivatives and indefinite integrals.
11.  Evaluate or approximate definite integrals of algebraic and 
trigonometric functions.
12.  Solve applied problems of the definite integral such as the area 
under a curve, volume and centroids.

Course Evaluation Practices for Architectural Students:

Please note that the professors teaching this course agree to the 
following practices.  We want to encourage behaviors that will help 
students be successful in the workplace, and to ensure that students 
receive credit for their individual work.

1. For submission of assignments and projects, the professor will 
specify, in writing:

a) due dates and special instructions for submissions
b) deductions for overdue assignments

2. All assignments must be completed as individual efforts unless the 
professor states otherwise in writing.

3. Tests and examinations must be written as scheduled by the 
professor.  A makeup test will only be provided to students who have 
an acceptable explanation for their absence or students who provide 
acceptable documentation, such as a medical certificate, explaining 
their absence.  These special situations must be arranged as soon as 
possible with the professor.  There may be limitations on timing for 
makeup tests.

4. A student must average at least 50% on the activities within each 
major evaluation component combined in order to receive credit for 
this course.  (e.g. If the major evaluation component "A. Ongoing 
Evaluation Activities" consists of 5 in-class exercises and 3 
assignments, then the average of all exercises and assignments 
combined, must be at least 50%)

N.B.  Steps to appeal grades and evaluations are found in the Student 
Handbook.
