For:   Kem  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 118
Rec. self-study hours: 42

  Area of Education: Science

Main field of studies: Mathematics, Applied Mathematics

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G1

Aim:
That you as a student will learn to feel confident with the mathematical expressions, reasoning and relations from Single Variable Calculus and that it will teach you calculating and problem solving skills needed for your further studies. After a completed course you should be able to:
  • Read and interpret mathematical texts
  • Explain definitions and expressions like local extremes, limits, continuity, derivatives, primitive functions and integrals
  • Explain and use central theorems like The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Mean-Value Theorems, The Intermediate-Value Theorem and The Max-Min Theorem.
  • Use mathematical laws for limits of functions and derivatives.
  • Perform investigations of functions using derivatives, limits and the properties of basic functions and from this draw conclusions regarding the properties of the functions


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


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:
Mathematics, second course

Organisation:
Teaching is done in lectures and problem classes.

Course contents:
  • Preparatory course: Equations and systems of equations. Geometric and arithmetic sums. Inequalities. Binomial theorem. Exponential functions and logarithms. Polynomials. Trigonometry and trigonometric functions.
  • Calculus: Real and complex numbers. Functions of a real variable. Elementary functions. Sequences, limits. Derivatives and continuity. Rules for differentiation. Properties of continuous functions. Study of functions.


  • Course literature:
    Forsling, Göran and Neymark Mats: Matematisk analys, en variabel. Liber 2011.
