Course description:

This course establishes the foundations of differential calculus for its use in pure and applied sciences. It prepares students, in particular, for the courses, Mechanics, Modern Physics, and Integral Calculus. The course explains the conceptual bases of differential calculus, i.e. the notions of a function, variation of a function, and limit and applies them to concrete situations.

By the end of the course, students will be able to:

1. Recognize and describe the characteristics a function represented in the form of a symbolic expression or in graphic form
2. Determine if a function has a limit, is continuous, is differentiable, at a point and over an interval
3. Apply the rules and techniques of derivation
4. Use the derivative and the concepts related to analyze the variations of a function and draw its graph
5. Solve optimization and rate of change issues

Course description:

Designed as an extension of concepts learned in high school, this course prepares students for the chemistry of solutions, organic chemistry, and biology courses while introducing them to laboratory work. The student is called upon to establish the relevant links between phenomena and fundamental concepts and verify them from data provided or observations obtained in the laboratory.

At the end of the course, students will be able to:

1. Apply the probabilistic model of the atom to the analysis of the properties of elements
2. Solve problems affecting the structure and states of matter in using modern theories of chemistry
3. Apply the laws of stoichiometry to the study of chemical phenomena

Course description:

Through the acquisition of basic knowledge in classical mechanics, the main objective of this course is to describe the translation and rotation motions of bodies, to apply the concepts and laws of dynamics to the analysis of the motion of bodies, to measure the amount of work and energy involved in simple situations, to apply the principles of conservation in mechanics and to verify experimentally several laws and principles in mechanics. To demonstrate that students have achieved the different elements in the competency, they will be evaluated based on a produced graphical and mathematical representations adapted to the nature of the problem, the rigorous application of Newton’s laws and the principles of conservation, the laboratory report in line with established standards and the critical evaluation of results.

Course description:

This course establishes the bases of integral calculus with a view of its applications to concrete situations: calculation of the area under a curve, calculation of the area and volume of solids, calculation of the length of a portion of a curve. The course follows and relies heavily on the concepts developed in Differential Calculus by consisting of doing the reverse operation of the derivation.

At the end of this course, students will be able

1. Determine the indefinite integral of a function
2. Calculate the limits of functions with indeterminate forms
3. Calculate definite integral and the improper integral of a function over an interval
4. Translate concrete problems in the form of differential equations and solve simple differential equations
5. Calculate volumes, areas, and lengths to construct graphic representations in the plane and in space
6. Analyze the convergence of a series

Course description:

This second chemistry course deepens understanding, more quantitatively, of the basic theories relating to the nature of matter in aqueous solutions through its physical and chemical properties. Students will establish links between fundamental phenomena and concepts using models of approximations.

Students will experimentally verify certain theoretical models, establish their limits, and analyze them in order to establish the causes of variation in the results obtained. The practical work thus makes students able to criticize their results and to estimate the degree of precision and reproducibility.

At the end of this course, students will be able to:

• Analyze the colligative properties of solutions
• Resolve problems related to the kinetics of reactions in solutions
• Resolve the problems related to chemical equilibrium
• Experimentally verify certain properties of solutions
• Experimentally determine certain characteristics of reactions in solutions

Course description:

This course is the first biology course in the program, which presents the organization of living things in a hierarchical fashion, from the most fundamental level of life, the cell, to its most global level, the maintenance and the complexity of life on Earth.

At the end of this course, students will be able:

1. Distinguish the relationships between the structures and functions of certain levels of organization of living things
2. Analyze the mechanisms responsible for the genetic variation of living things
3. Appreciate the action of the mechanisms of evolution of diversity and life complexity
