After this course, the student is able to
  1. Reflect critically on existing theoretical knowledge and ideas.
  2. Analyze algebraic properties of one variable functions, including critical points, limits, asymptotic behavior and singularities.
  3. Define the concept of Riemann integration and apply this to appropriate problems.
  4. Apply partial integration to find antiderivatives.
  5. Check if a solution of an ordinary differential equation (ODE) exists, and whether it is unique;
  6. Analyze improper integrals.
  7. Study different categories of infinite series and discuss their convergence.
  8. Study the concept of vectors in 2-D and 3-D.
  9. Classify ODEs and solve ODEs analytically using separation of variables, integrating factors or variation of constants
  10. Discuss the stability of solutions of differential equations.
  11. Explain ideas, demonstrate personal autonomy, develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills and apply the principles of teamwork and collaboration.
  12. Demonstrate that has reached all underlying ideas at the expected level.


 
Content
In  this 6 EC course you will develop a conceptual understanding on  Differential and Integral Calculus of 1-D functions, and on Ordinary Differential Equations. You will become competent in applying  the concepts to solve concrete problems,  increase your computational skills, and practice in communicating your results.
The course will cover the concepts of Derivatives, Integrals, Infinite Series,  and Ordinary Differential Equations. In order to solve certain types of differential equations, the topic of complex numbers will be covered as well. Emphasis will be given on applications of Differentiation, Integration and Modelling.

Unit 1: Functions (Learning Objectives)
Define a function.
Recognize different categories of functions.
Analyse the behaviour for different categories of functions.
Use the properties of these functions to solve equations and application problems.

Unit 2: Limits (Learning Objectives)
Learning Objectives:
Demonstrate, describe, and recognize ways in which limits exist (or not) .
Evaluate limits given analytic, graphical, numerical function information .
Explain indeterminate form of limits.
Evaluate one sided limits.
 Describe relationship between Limits and Continuity.

Unit 3: Derivatives (Learning Objectives)
State the limit definition of derivative of a function.
 Calculate derivatives of functions by applying differentiation rules.
 Interpret and make use of notation for higher-order derivatives.
