- Synopsis:
-
This course covers the standard basics of continuous mathematics. First, for functions of one variable we cover limits, derivatives and integration, which is followed by sequences and series of real numbers. The acquired skills are then applied to functions of more variables, where we use partial derivatives to find extrema. The focus is on practical computational skills and on understanding the meaning of notions and calculations. The course is concluded by a survey of power series and a brief introduction to ordinary differential equations, whose main purpose is to show students that continuous mathematics is a powerful
tool.
