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 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
- use power series to calculate sums and to solve differential equations
- 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 analysis.
|
|
Organisation:
Lectures 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 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, calculation of sums, solving differential equations
