About

The Pre-University Calculus course from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft)  will prepare you for the Introductory Calculus courses by revising four important mathematical subjects that are assumed to be mastered by beginning Bachelor students: functions, equations, differentiation and integration. After this course you will be well prepared to start your university calculus course.

Overview

Key facts

You will learn to understand the necessary definitions and mathematical concepts needed and you will be trained to apply those and solve mathematical problems. You will feel confident in using basic mathematical techniques for your first calculus course at university-level, building on high-school level mathematics. We aim to teach you the skills, but also to show you how mathematics will be used in different engineering and science disciplines. The Pre-University Calculus is offered by Delft University of Technology (TU Delft).

What you'll learn:

  • Understand, visualize and manipulate different elementary functions, like powers, roots, polynomials, trigonometric functions, exponential and logarithmic functions.
  • Understand, visualize and solve equations and inequalities involving these elementary functions.
