Course Objectives
- To introduce the properties of real numbers and give an idea of proofs in real analysis.
- To understand the concepts involved in limit via epsilon method (for sequences as well as for functions of one/several variables).
- To introduce the idea behind the Riemann integration through upper/lower Riemann sums.
- To introduce the concepts of vector differentiation and integration.
Course Outcomes
CO1: Students will learn about different types of sequences and results related to their convergence. <br /> <br />CO2: Students will be able to test the convergence of series of real numbers. They will also get an idea of power series and it’s radius of convergence. <br /> <br />CO3: Students will learn the epsilon-delta approach for limit, continuity and differentiability along with the difference between differential of functions of one variable and several variables. <br /> <br />CO4: Students will learn about the applications of basic theorems on continuity and differentiability, and the method of determining maxima/minima of functions of several variables. <br /> <br />CO5: Students will be able to test the Riemann integrability of elementary functions, to calculate double/triple integrals and change the order of integration, and to test the convergence of improper integrals. <br /> <br />CO6: They will learn about differential operators and vector integration, their properties and applications.
