The fundamental theorem of calculus is central in the course, and so are its applications. In this context first order and second differential equations are introduced. Emphasize is made on rigour.

Learning outcome

The aim of this course is on one hand to present a theoretical foundation for the calculus introduced in high school programs, and on the other hand to develop the topic further in order to give a basis for university studies in mathematics, science and technology.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, compulsory exercises and mid-semester examination.
Portfolio assessment is the basis for the grade awarded in the course. This portfolio comprises a written final examination 80% and the semester assignment 20%. The mid-semester examination only counts if it has a positive effect on the total assessment. The results for the constituent parts are to be given in %-points, while the grade for the whole portfolio (course grade) is given by the letter grading system.

Retake of examination may be given as an oral examination.
