Eligibility

General entry requirements for bachelor's level (first cycle)
Applicants enrolled in a programme at Chalmers where the course is included in the study programme are exempted from fulfilling the requirements above.

Specific entry requirements

The same as for the programme that owns the course.
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

Studies at the university begin with a two weeks non-compulsory introduction which is a repetition of the main features of high school mathematics. The introduction (about 30 hours) consists of: - information and diagnostic test - algebraic expressions - trigonometry - analytic geometry - functions. Literature: R. Pettersson: Förberedande kurs i matematik vid CTH

Aim

To provide basic knowledge in mathematical analysis, which is necessary knowledge for most courses in the programs Engineering physics and Engineering mathematics.

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

- understand the fundamental notions and definitions of mathematical analysis; - prove the most fundamental theorems within analysis of functions in one real variable; - use mathematical induction to prove identities and inequalities; - rewrite expressions which contain logarithms and the inverse of the trigonometric functions; - use a combination of standard limits in order to find other limits; - analyze functions in order to draw their graphs; - use standard methods to find the antiderivatives of some elementary functions; - use the main theorem of analysis to compute Riemann integrals; - apply Riemann integration on length, area and volume computation; - use comparison methods to determine convergence/divergence of improper integrals; - give proves of his/her own; - solve problems combining two or more of the above abilities.

Examination including compulsory elements

Written paper which combines theory and problem solving.

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.
