Prel. scheduled hours: 68
Rec. self-study hours: 92

  Area of Education: Science

Subject area: Mathematics

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G1

Aim:
To give basic proficiency in mathematical concepts, reasoning and relations contained in single-variable calculus. To provide the skills in calculus and problem solving required for subsequent studies. After a completed course, the student should be able to
  • read and interpret mathematical text
  • quote and explain Taylor's formula and the concepts involved in numerical series, power series, and convergence of series
  • derive expressions for, and compute, geometrical quantities such as plane area, arc length, and volume and surface area of solids of revolution
  • solve ordinary differential equations (first order linear and separable equations, and higher order linear equations with constant coefficients) and integral equations
  • use Taylor expansions to approximate functions by polynomials, compute limits and rational approximations, and to investigate local properties of functions
  • carry out investigations of convergence of improper integrals, numerical series, and power series, and also compute derivatives and integrals of power series
  • perform routine calculations with confidence
  • carry out inspections of results and partial results, in order to verify that these are correct or reasonable.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Calculus in one variable

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
Calculus in several variables, Vector analysis, Complex analysis, and Fourier analysisLectures and problem classes. The IT programme has a different organisation, due to the study programme syllabus.

Course contents:
Applications of integrals: plane area, arc length, volume and surface area of solids of revolution, mass, and centre of mass. Taylor's and Maclaurin's formulae: Maclaurin expansions of the elementary functions, the Lagrange and Ordo forms of the remainder term, applications, e.g. error estimates for approximations and computations of limits. Ordinary differential equations: first order linear and separable equations, integral equations, higher order linear equations with constant coefficients. Improper integrals: investigation of convergence, absolute convergence. Numerical series: investigation of convergence, absolute convergence, Leibniz criterion. Power series: radius of convergence, solution of differential equations, Maclaurin series.
