Mathematical Analysis I

  • Course name: Mathematical Analysis I
  • Code discipline: CSE201
  • Subject area: Math

Short Description

This calculus course covers differentiation and integration of functions of one variable, with applications. The basic objective of Calculus is to relate small-scale (differential) quantities to large-scale (integrated) quantities. This is accomplished by means of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Should be understanding of the integral as a cumulative sum, of the derivative as a rate of change, and of the inverse relationship between integration and differentiation.

Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs)

What is the main purpose of this course?

This calculus course will provide an opportunity for participants to:

  • understand key principles involved in differentiation and integration of functions
  • solve problems that connect small-scale (differential) quantities to large-scale (integrated) quantities
  • become familiar with the fundamental theorems of Calculus
  • get hands-on experience with the integral and derivative applications and of the inverse relationship between integration and differentiation.

ILOs defined at three levels

We specify the intended learning outcomes at three levels: conceptual knowledge, practical skills, and comprehensive skills.

Level 1: What concepts should a student know/remember/explain?

By the end of the course, the students should be able to ...

  • remember the differentiation techniques
  • remember the integration techniques
  • remember how to work with sequences and series

Level 2: What basic practical skills should a student be able to perform?

By the end of the course, the students should be able to ...

  • apply the derivatives to analyse the functions
  • integrate
  • understand the basics of approximation

Level 3: What complex comprehensive skills should a student be able to apply in real-life scenarios?

By the end of the course, the students should be able to ...

  • Take derivatives of various type functions and of various orders
  • Integrate
  • Apply definite integral
  • Expand functions into Taylor series
  • Apply convergence tests

The retake exam

Retakes will be run as a comprehensive exam, where the student will be assessed the acquired knowledge coming from the textbooks, the lectures, the labs, and the additional required reading material, as supplied by the instructor. During such comprehensive oral/written the student could be asked to solve exercises and to explain theoretical and practical aspects of the course.
