exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric
functions.
3) Solve problems related to the application of
differentiation and integration.
4) Solve first- and second-order differential
equations with constant coefficients.

1. Attendance shall be counted immediately from Week 1 in
every trimester. Any absence from class without valid
reasons and evidence will be recorded and students who
fail to achieve 80% of the attendance should be barred;

2. The attendance for lectures, tutorials, labs and studios
should be counted separately. If a student fails to
achieve 80% of the attendance for either lectures,
tutorials, labs or studios, s/he must be barred from
sitting for final examination for that particular subject;

3. The attendance must be counted until the day when the
barring list is submitted;

4. For students with medical certificates which contribute
to more than 20% of the absence in the respective
trimester, the Faculty/Center must advise him/her to
take leave of absence as he/she will be deemed as unfit
to go through the whole trimester's workload
