HOURS/WEEK -2

COURSE OBJECTIVES

To make the students refresh the basics of those parts of mathematics which are useful in the field of
Architecture and gain a new focus on Architectural Mathematics. The Limits, Differential Calculus,
Integral Calculus and Application of derivatives are the core components to refresh.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Students should be able to det the grasp on topic of mathematics which are essential to the
field of architecture like limits and their uses to define continuity, derivatives and integrals.
• Learn the basics of differentiation and their application for finding rate of change of a quantity,
approximation value, maxima and minima etc.
• Learn the basics of integration and its application to find the area under a curve.

2. Derivatives (30%)

2.1 Introduction, derivative of a function at a point, geometrical and physical significance of a

derivative
2.2 One sided derivatives, derivative in an interval, continuity and differentiability
2.3 Theorems on differentiation, differentiation of sum, product and quotient of functions
2.4 Differentiation of polynomial, trigonometric, inverse, logarithmic, exponential, hyperbolic,
parametric and implicit functions
2.5 Logarithm differentiation and differentiation by preliminary transformation
2.6 Derivative of function of a function

3. Application of derivatives (20%)

3.1 Derivative as a rate of measure, errors and approximations

3.2 Increasing and decreasing functions, absolute maximum and minimum value of a function, local
maxima and minima, test for finding local extremum, application of maxima and minima
3.3 The tangent to a curve, equations of tangent lines to some well known curves, normal to a curve

4. Integration (30%)

4.1 Integration as inverse process of differentiation. Properties of indefinite integral,

integration by substitution, integration using trigonometric identities, integration by parts,
integration using partial fractions
4.2 Basic properties of definite integrals, definite integral as the limit of a sum, definite
integral by substitution
4.3 Application of definite integral in finding the area of bounded regions by the curves

TEACHING APPROACH

• Students should be made to feel grasp on basic of mathematics essential to the field of
architecture like limits, derivatives and its applications.
• Should be made to understand the process of integration and calculation of area under a curve
by applying the integration
