The exponentials 10* and e*. Use of the exponential theorem. Graphic treatment of all these functions. (b) Differentiation. Nature of the process. Differentiation of the functions specified under (a). Rules of differentiation for sums, products, quotients, functions of a function. Second differentiation.

(c) Applications of differentiation. Tangents and normals of curves. Velocities, including rates of increase and diminution in general, e. g. velocity of chemical change. Maxima and minima of simple functions of one variable. Simple cases of approximation, e. g. calculation of small corrections. Acceleration in simple cases.

(d) Integration. Nature of the process. Integration of powers, polynomials, easy rational fractional expressions, simple expressions involving irrational, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Integration by parts and by substitution.

(e) Applications of integration. Mensuration of simple areas and volumes. Centres of gravity and moments of inertia in simple cases. Uniformly accelerated motion and simple harmonic motion.
