Course Outcome:
1. Add together infinitely many numbers.
2. Represent a differentiable function f(x) as an infinite sum of powers of x.
3. Decide on convergence or divergence of a wide class of series.
4. See concavity of graph and find out points of inflection.
5. Observe behaviour of function f(x) as x goes to infinity/ negative infinity.
6. Able to evaluate indeterminate forms using L'Hospital's Rule.

easily evaluated using techniques known.
8. Able to evaluate the volume of solids such as pyramid, sphere, etc. by slicing method.

*PA (M): 10 marks for Active Learning Assignments, 20 marks for other methods of PA

ACTIVE LEARNING ASSIGNMENTS: Preparation of power-point slides, which include videos,

animations, pictures, graphics for better understanding the applications of Calculus to engineering
applications The faculty will allocate chapters/ parts of chapters to groups of students so that the
entire syllabus of Calculus is covered. The power-point slides should be put up on the web-site of
the College/ Institute, along with the names of the students of the group, the name of the faculty,
Department and College on the first slide. The best three works should be sent to
