Aim

The purpose of the course is to, together with the other mathematics courses in the program, provide a general mathematical education needed for further studies as well as professional life.

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

  • define and manipulate elementary functions and algebraic expressions
  • explain the concepts of derivative and integral and the relation between them
  • compute integrals both analytically and numerically
  • explain criteria for optimality 
  • solve simple differential equations
  • approximate functions by polynomials and their representation by power series
  • use and combine different concepts in problem solving

Content

Basic calculus in one variable: elementary functions, concepts of limits and continuity, mean value theorem, Riemann integral, antiderivatives and the relation of these to integrals, applications of integrals to calulations of volumes of bodies and lenghts of curves, simpler differential equations, Taylor expansions and approximations of functions, complex numbers

Organisation

Lectures, classes for problem solving and scheduled group work

Literature

Calculus, a Complete Course by R. A. Adams Addison Wesley Longman

Examination including compulsory elements

A written 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.
