Calculus is the mathematical study of continuous change. Calculus is used in every branch of Physical sciences, computer sciences, medical and in other fields.This enables us to  learn the essential concepts of mathematics like limits, continuity, rate of change and broadly mathematical analysis. In this course the basic aim is to provide students with the essential concepts of biomathematics and how they use this to analyze the real data. 

Course Objectives: This course aims to provide students with the essential concepts of biomathematics and how these can be employed for analyzing real data.

Course Contents:

1.Real-number line, functions and their graphs, solution of equations involving absolute values, inequalities, binomial theorem and its use.

2. Limits and Continuity: Limit of a function, left-hand and right-hand limits, continuity, continuous functions.

3. Derivatives and their Applications: Differentiable functions, differentiation of polynomial, rational and transcendental functions, derivatives.

4. Integration and Definite Integrals: Techniques of evaluating indefinite integrals, integration by substitution, integration by parts, change of variables in indefinite integrals.

5. Application and importance of calculus for biotechnology; the exponential growth curve and growth equation.
