微积分课程是理、工、管理等大学本科专业最重要的数学基础课程,为学生学习后续课程和进一步获取数学知识尊定基础,也是培养学生理性思维和创新能力的重要载体。各大学历来重视课程建设与教师队伍建设。
2013年秋至今,电子科技大学为了格拉斯哥学院学生的教学与培养需要,开设了全英语微积分课程,选用的教材是英语原版经典教材《Thomas' Calculus》(第12版)。授课方式为全英语教学,并按照欧美教学方式:注重以学生为中心、课内与课外相结合、教学与研究相结合、知识背景与理论基础相结合的教育创新模式。教师在课程中积极与学生互动,注重学生发现问题、解决问题能力的培养,同时讲解问题时留有充分的想象空间与练习环节,并附有丰富的参考资料和大量的例题习题。
本课程系统地介绍了微积分的基础知识和基本方法,分为Calculus I和Calculus II两个部分。Calculus I主要包含一元函数的极限理论,一元函数微分学和积分学,常微分方程;Calculus II主要包含多元函数微分学与积分学,向量场积分以及无穷级数理论。
