Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.

Course specific prerequisites

Elementary knowledge in algebra corresponding to the course MVE675 Algebra.

Aim

The course should, in a coherent way, give basic knowledge of calculus. The course will also facilitate mathematical treatment of technical problems in the profession and provide basic knowledge for further studies.

Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)

  • define the concepts of definite integral and improper integral
  • use the fundamental rules of integration
  • use the most common methods for solving differential equations
  • interpret integrals geometrically
  • apply the knowledge of derivatives and integrals to simpler applied problems

Content

Connection between area and antiderivative. Definite and indefinite integral. Rules of integration, integration by parts, integration by substitution. Integration of rational functions, algebraic functions and certain transcendental functions. Improper integrals. Separable differential equations. first-order linear differential equations. Examples of problem which could be solved by differential equations. Operators, linear differential equations of higher orders with constant coefficients.

Organisation

The course includes lectures, tutorials, quizzes and homework.

Literature

Månsson+Nordbeck: Endimensionell Analys

Examination including compulsory elements

The learning outcomes are assessed continuously by quizzes and a final exam.

The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
