Engineering Mechanics I

Statics

This course introduces the basic concept of a function of a single real variable. It explores how such functions are represented algebraically and graphically, emphasizing interpretation and behavior on the real number line.

You’ll learn to identify domain, range, and key features of graphs such as intercepts, symmetry, and asymptotic behavior. The goal is to build a solid understanding of how functions behave visually and analytically.

This course sets the foundation for everything else in calculus. It is designed to be intuitive, but also precise in its treatment of core ideas.

Single-Variable Calculus

Limits form the conceptual entry point into calculus. This course focuses on the idea of approaching a value — what it means for a function to tend toward a limit, and how to analyze this behavior rigorously.

We examine left-hand and right-hand limits, infinite limits, and limits at infinity. You'll also learn to handle indeterminate forms and use algebraic techniques to simplify complex limit expressions.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a clear grasp of how limits underpin both continuity and derivatives, and why they matter.

This course defines what it means for a function to be continuous at a point and on an interval. It connects the idea of a limit to the real-world expectation that a continuous function should have no breaks or jumps.

We go over types of discontinuities and how to classify them. You'll learn how to test for continuity using limit laws and understand the significance of continuity in applied contexts.

Continuity is a gateway concept that prepares you for more advanced ideas like differentiability and integrability.

Here, you’ll learn what it means for a function to be differentiable and how to compute derivatives using first principles. We explore the derivative as a measure of instantaneous rate of change and as the slope of a tangent line.

The course also highlights the relationship between differentiability and continuity, and includes geometric and physical interpretations of the derivative.

This is where the core machinery of calculus really begins, with the derivative acting as a powerful tool for analysis.
