welcome to the chapter on Functions
Brief Introduction about the Chapter
Functions is the starting point of the study of Calculus, and also one of its most important aspects.
Topics covered
- Section - 1: Introduction to functions
- This section has an introduction to functions along with the concepts of Domain and Range.
- Section - 2: Commonly encountered functions
- Here, we'll discuss functions that are commonly used throughout mathematics, and their properties. We also discuss graphs of these functions.
- Questions for practice (Answers are provided)
- Section - 3: Mappings - Functions as maps
- A discussion on what mappings mean, and how functions can be viewed as maps.
- Questions for practice
- Section - 4: Properties of functions
- A discussion on
- Even/Odd functions
- Increasing/Decreasing functions
- Periodic functions
- Section - 5: Inverse functions
- This discussion is very important. It deals with inverses, how they are calculated/graphed, and their properties.
- Questions for practice
- Section - 6: Graphs
- Very important. Discusses basic graph plotting in detail. Also discusses manipulations on graphs. You must understand this section carefully if you want to be proficient in functions.
- Questions for practice
- Section - 7: Miscellaneous examples
