1 SUBJECT DESCRIPTION
The subject consists of three strands, Differential calculus and Integration:
This subject will focus on two strands:

 Strand 1 (Vector algebra and calculus): This strand covers vector geometry in 3-
D, calculus of vector valued functions, parametric curves, gradient, directional
derivatives of multivariate functions. This strand also covers advanced topics of
vector calculus to fields.

 Strand 2 (Sequences and Series): This strand covers techniques for finding
limits, determining the convergence series and leads into Taylor and Maclaurin
Series, differentiation and integration of power series.

2 LEARNING OUTCOMES
After successful completion of this subject, students should be able to perform the following
tasks:
1. Apply integration techniques to find areas, volumes and arc lengths in various
coordinate systems;
2. Evaluate weights and sample points to quadrature rules to calculate approximations to
definite integrals and perform error analysis;
3. Differentiate function of more than one independent variables
4. Apply vector calculus to find the gradient and directional derivatives of multivariate
functions;
5. Apply operations to vector fields and evaluate line integrals; surface integrals, green’s
theorem, Flux, Stokes’ theorem.
6. Use appropriate tests to establish the convergence or divergence of sequences and
series and determine the interval of convergence of power series;
7. Find Taylor series expansions and remainders and determine convergence of Taylor
series.

5.3 GRADES AWARDED

The approved grades of performance and associated ranges of marks for undergraduate subjects
are:
High Distinction (HD) 85 – 100%
Distinction (D) 75 – 84%
Credit (C) 65 – 74%
Pass (P) 50 – 64%50%
Pass Supplementary(PS) 0 – 49%(and not meeting the
Fail (F) attendance requirements)
Technical Fail (TF) Not meeting the final exam passing
requirements – see the Assessment Policy
PP-REG-DB-2.1

5.4 SATISFACTORY COMPLETION REQUIREMENTS

In order to be considered for a grade of Pass (P) or better in this subject, students must achieve
the minimum required mark in the Final Examination (see page 1 for required score);
students who obtain a composite mark greater than or equal to 50% but do not satisfy the Final
Examination minimum pass requirements in the final examination will be awarded a “Technical
Fail” grade.

Students must ‘reasonably’ complete all assessment tasks (including the required score for the
Final Examination,) and submit these as specified in the subject outline. ‘Reasonable’
completion of an assessment task will be determined based on the instructions given to the
student including: word length, demonstration of research and analysis where required,
adherence to the Plagiarism Policy guidelines, and completion of each section/component of
the assessment. Failure to ‘reasonably’ complete any assessment tasks to the standard
specified above may result in a Fail grade awarded for the subject.

have a TurnItIn account. Failure to submit an assignment through TurnItIn will result in marks
for that assignment being withheld. Students do NOT need to hand in a printed copy of the
TurnItIn Originality Report! More information about TurnItIn (including how to create an
account and add a class) will be provided in the first lecture. Students can download Frequently

4. ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS
For all subjects, include this statement:
Attendance in this subject is compulsory. Failure to attend all tutorials and computer

Online Resources website at my.uowdubai.ac.ae).
5. TUTORIAL/COMPUTER LAB ENROLMENTS
All students must sign up for one tutorial and/or computer lab in Week 1. Admission to a
tutorial/computer lab will not be possible unless the student’s name is on the Attendance List
for that class. No changes will be allowed once a student has enrolled in a tutorial/computer
lab.

6. SUPPLEMENTARY ASSESSMENTS
A supplementary assessment may be offered to students whose performance in this subject is
close (45-49 or TF) to that required to pass the subject, and are otherwise identified as meriting
an offer of a supplementary assessment. The precise form of a supplementary assessment will be
determined at the time the offer of a supplementary is made.
