Course Overview | 교과목개요
An applied calculus (미적분학) course covering limits, continuity, differentiation, and integration with an emphasis on economic and business applications. The course is designed to give students a solid, practical understanding of the basic concepts and applications of differential and integral calculus without sacrificing mathematical accuracy. Most concepts are approached from an applied perspective.
Our objectives are to
Learn the general concept of a function and how to apply it to real-world situations.
Learn to work with power, exponential, logarithmic, and other elementary functions and their applications in business, economics, and finance.
Learn the concepts of the derivative and its underlying concepts, such as limits and continuity.
Learn to calculate derivatives for various functions using definitions and rules.
Apply the concept of a derivative to analyze the graph of a function.
Learn various applications of the derivative in applied problems.
Learn to use the concept of integration to evaluate geometric area and solve other applied problems.
Learn how to use AI chatbots, GeoGebra, and Microsoft Excel software for computation and visualization.
경제학과 경영학 응용에 중점을 둔 극한, 연속성, 미분, 적분을 다루는 응용 미적분학 과정입니다. 이 과정은 수학적 정확성을 희생하지 않고 학생들에게 미분학과 적분학의 기본 개념과 응용에 대한 견고하고 실용적인 이해를 제공하도록 설계되었습니다. 대부분의 개념은 응용적인 관점에서 접근합니다.
우리의 목표는 다음과 같습니다:
함수의 일반적인 개념과 이를 실생활에 적용하는 방법을 배웁니다.
비즈니스, 경제, 금융 등에서 파워, 지수, 로그 함수 등의 기본 함수와 그 응용 방법을 배웁니다.
극한과 연속성과 같은 미분의 개념과 그 기초 개념을 배웁니다.
정의와 규칙을 사용하여 다양한 함수의 미분을 계산하는 방법을 배웁니다.
함수의 그래프를 분석하기 위해 미분의 개념을 적용합니다.
응용문제에서 미분의 다양한 응용 방법을 배웁니다.
면적을 평가하고 다른 응용문제를 해결하기 위해 적분의 개념을 사용하는 방법을 배웁니다.

Study Tips | 공부 요령
Memorize mathematical notations.
Study all presentations and problems discussed in class. Exam questions/problems will be similar to those theories and problems discussed only during our lessons. Homework assignments are separate and used to activate self-study.
Try to solve the same problems but using different functions. Practice as much as you can.
Learn how to plot graphs without GeoGebra (by using points as in high school).
If you do not understand, ask Google or AI chatbots. You can find many useful pages and video tutorials. Example: "derivative of y=1/x". Additionally, I recommend reading the following tips to use Google more efficiently.
If you can't find the answer, please do not be afraid and ask questions to your professor.
Practical Uses of This Course | 교과목활용
We can find the effects of changing conditions on a system with calculus. By studying these effects, you can learn how to control a complex system and make it do what you want it to. Because of the ability to model and control systems, calculus gives us extraordinary power over the material world.
Mathematics is the language of engineers, scientists, and economists. The work of these professionals has a significant impact on our daily lives—from microwaves, cell phones, TV, and cars to medicine, the economy, and national defense.
The learned vocabulary will be helpful for your future international cooperation. This might be very useful to you to become more successful in the future as languages play an essential role in the collaboration between countries and companies. As we all know, South Korea is an export-oriented country. Knowledge of English and other UN's official languages will strengthen you as a specialist.
Class Rules | 수업진행
Be punctual: Being late to class disrupts the learning environment for yourself and your classmates. Please make an effort to arrive at class on time and be considerate of your fellow students.
Keep your phone on silent: Turn off the sound and vibration on your phone and put it away during class.
Get permission to leave class: If you need to leave class early or absent yourself, ask the professor first. This helps ensure you don't miss any important information or disrupt the class.
Stay awake and engaged: Do your best to stay awake and focused during class. If you find it difficult to stay awake, try sitting up front or finding ways to engage with the material.
Ask questions: If you have questions or need clarification on a topic, don't hesitate to ask. This is a great way to ensure that you understand the material and can actively participate in class discussions.
Be considerate of your classmates: Avoid distracting or annoying your classmates, such as talking during lectures or playing games on your phone. Be respectful of their right to learn and concentrate.
Seek help if you have problems with the attendance app: If you are having trouble with the attendance app or any other technical problems, don't hesitate to reach out to your department or college office for help.
Certificates of absence: To ensure that your certificate of absence is properly recorded and accounted for, please submit it only through the EDWARD system.
Homework submission: To ensure that your homework is properly submitted and graded, please use the CTL system.
