Course Overview

The Calculus of One Real Variable programme is an undergraduate level training. Swayam offers 40 lectures divided into a course plan of eight weeks. The curriculum aims to familiarise students with the elementary and advanced aspects of the calculus of a single variable. Candidates will find several applications of this knowledge in engineering, economics, and science domain.

The Calculus of One Real Variable online programme provides all-encompassing learning content about functions like continuous functions, inverse functions, transcendental functions, and limits and derivatives of a function. Students will also master the intermediate value theorem, Rolle’s Theorem, Lagrange’s mean value theorem, and maximum value theorem. Swayam also allows students to avail of the course free of cost.

Furthermore, Joydeep Dutta, who is presently a professor of Economics at IIT Kanpur’s Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, will teach you the course. Students from engineering, mathematics, economics, and science streams will benefit from the Calculus of One Real Variable certification training.

Eligibility Criteria

Students must have a firm knowledge of Mathematics from the 12th standard to enrol in the Calculus of One Real Variable online training.

Certificate Qualifying Details

Moreover, in the certificate evaluation students must secure a score of at least 39/100. The final score consists of 30% of assignments and 70% of the proctored test. Besides, applicants need their average assignment score to be more than nine, and the test marks to be greater than 29. If both conditions are fulfilled, the learner will then receive the certification. 

What you will learn

Mathematical skill

Once you complete all the lectures of the Calculus of One Real Variable online course, you will have a firm grip on the following:

  • Functions: Limits of Functions, continuous functions, derivatives of functions, transcendental functions, inverse functions, Monotonic Functions
  • Rolle’s Theorem
  • Intermediate Value Theorem
  • Lagrange’s Mean-Value Theorem (MVT)
  • Supermum and Infimum
  • Taylor’s Expansion
  • Definite and Indefinite integrals
  • Simpson’s Rule
  • Maximum Value Theorem

Who it is for

The Calculus of One Real Variable programme is targeted at first-year students from the science and engineering domain. Students who are pursuing economics with mathematics as their main course will also benefit from this.
