Content

Complex numbers. Introduction to basic topics in real analysis and their applications: limits, continuity, differentiation, integration and differential equations.

Learning outcome

After completing this course the student will be able to:

  • Compute with complex numbers on Cartesian and exponential form, and use de Moivre's theorem.
  • Use the limit concept to define continuity, differentiability and integration.
  • Differentiate all elementary functions, and use the derivative of a function to describe its properties, in particular, to determine its extremal values.
  • Use Leibniz notation to solve problems on related rates.
  • Use numerical methods to solve equations using Newtons method.
  • Compute antiderivatives by using substitution, partial integration, partial fraction decomposition and inverse trigonometric substitutions.
  • Compute areas, lengths and volumes by integration.
  • Use numerical integration (Trapezoidal and Simpsons method).
  • Apply and solve first order linear and separable differential equations, and second order linear differential equations with constant coefficients.

Course assessment

There must be an early dialogue between the course supervisor, the student union representative and the students. The purpose is feedback from the students for changes and adjustments in the course for the current semester.In addition, a digital subject evaluation must be carried out at least every three years. Its purpose is to gather the students experiences with the course.
