Overview
This course is the first step in calculus, also called mathematical analysis, and serves as a bridge from discrete to continuous. It deals with limits of sequences, and continuity, differentiation and integration of functions.
We will introduce and explore elementary concepts and methods of calculus. For each of them, a geometric interpretation will be given as a key for better understanding.
We will see how these concepts are applied by considering examples and by solving numerous exercises. Among useful results in calculus, we will mention Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem, Rolle’s theorem and mean value theorems.
Learning highlights
- The objective of the course is to familiarise with basic notions and ideas of calculus: to learn how to calculate the limit of a sequence, how to find a derivative and an integral of a function when it is possible. This course is also a background preparation for studying random variables (in probability).
