For First Year students on 8th March, 2023 in Conclave – II
The objectives of the workshop were to enable the participants to understand the Essential of calculus.
Prof. Shital Rithe, Applied Sciences and Humanities enlightened the students to a one hour enlightening Session on “Essential of Calculus”. Prof. Shital took the participants through a series of slides and PowerPoint presentations of essential applications of calculus and some examples to explain how calculus plays an important role in first year engineering studies. Calculus provides engineers with a powerful toolset for modeling, analysing, and optimizing complex physical systems. Calculus is the most important branch of mathematics that deals with continuous change. The two major concepts that calculus is based on are derivatives and integrals. She discussed the important formulas of differentiation and integration required to solve problems in Engineering Mathematics II.
She also explained the students how calculus is used to solve the problems in engineering related to area, volume and mass. For example, engineers use calculus to calculate area under a curve, which is important for finding the total volume of a shape. It was a highly interactive and participative workshop.
At the end of the session students questioned to clear their doubts. There were 80 participants in the workshop and feedback was collected from all the participants.
