To be able to prove the basic theorems in mathematical analysis in one variable

To be able to formulate and solve linear/separable differential equations

To be able to expand analytic functions in Taylor series

To be able to analyze the asymptotics of certain sequences (for instance coming from linear difference equations and iterations schemes)

To be able to establish convergence/divergence of series using various tests/criteria.

To be able to establish convergence/divergence of power series.

To apply the notions of pointwise and uniform convergence for function series

To compute limits of functions in several variables

To be able to produce proofs independently.

To be able to solve problems which involve two or more of the above.
