Mathematics I

This course provides the "logical" foundation for "instructional materials" by covering calculus of one variable, including limits, differentiation, and integration. It focuses on the "technical clarity" needed to formulate real-world problems into mathematical statements and demonstrate solutions numerically or graphically.
