Course content

Basic properties of real numbers and real functions of a real variable; limits, continuity, differentiation and integration. The fundamental theorem of calculus and its applications are central. There is an emphasis on rigour.

Learning outcome

1. Knowledge. The student is familiar with central concepts of real analysis, including convergence; properties of the real numbers and of continuous, differentiable and integrable functions; linearization; the fundamental theorem of calculus. The student has more detailed knowledge of the properties of special functions such as polynomials, exponential functions, trigonometric functions and their inverses.


2. Skills. The student is able to apply techniques of integration and derivation in mathematical modeling, to derive simple mathematical results and to analyze functions. The student is able to set up and analyze simple mathematical models, including problems involving elementary optimization or differential equations. Moreover, the student is able to read and write rigorous mathematical proofs related to the content of the course, including proofs based on induction.

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 mid-semester examination (20%). The mid-semester examination only counts if it has a positive effect on the final grade. 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.
