MATHEMATICS 1
Basic knowledge of high school algebra, trigonometry and analytic geometry.
Aims and outcomes
The course aims at introducing students to the fundamental methods and techniques of Mathematics, and in particular to the differential and integral calculus of one real variable and to sequences and series. A further goal is to train students in applying analytic techniques to other sciences.
Students will know the fundamental of differential and integral calculus of real functions of one real variable. In particular they will be able to study the qualitative graph of elementary function, to solve elementary ordinary differential equations, to determine the convergence of sequences and series; they will be able to state and prove the basics theorems of Analysis.
