Course content
This course, together with MA0002, will give a sufficient mathematical background for science courses requiring only basic mathematics. The course will introduce functions of one real variable, exponential, logarithm and trigonometric functions, differentiation and integration with applications, implicit differentiation, and linear approximation.
Learning outcome
1. Knowledge. The student has basic knowledge of mathematical analysis of functions of a single real variable, including limits, continuity, differentiation and integration. The student has more detailed knowledge about special functions, such as exponentials, logarithms and trigonometric functions.
2. Skills. The student is able to apply his or her knowledge of mathematical analysis to solve simple problems from mathematics and the natural sciences.
Learning methods and activities
Portfolio assessment is the basis for the grade awarded in the course. This portfolio comprises a written final examination (80%) and a 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.
Compulsory assignments
- Øvinger
Further on evaluation
In the case that the student receives an F/Fail as a final grade after both ordinary and re-sit exam, then the student must retake the course in its entirety. Submitted work that counts towards the final grade will also have to be retaken. For more information about grading and evaluation. see «Teaching methods and activities».
Recommended previous knowledge
The course is based on Mathematics R1 or 2MX from high school, or equivalent.
