Course content
Limits, continuity, differentiation and integration of functions of one variable. The mean-value theorem, extreme values, related rates. L'Hopital's rule, Newton's method. Methods of integration and numerical integration. Volume, arclength, area of surfaces of revolution and centre of mass. Sequences, series and power series. Taylor series, Taylor's formula. First order separable and linear differential equations. Euler's method. Systems of differential equations. Examples of mathematical modelling.
Learning outcome
1. Knowledge. The student is able to recognize, understand and apply concepts and methods from single-variable analysis, including continuity, convergence and integration. The student is familiar with basic numerical methods for solution of nonlinear equations, differential equations and integration, and is aware of the possibilities and limitations that lie in the use of mathematical software.
2. Skills. The student is able to apply his or her knowledge of single-variable mathematical analysis to formulate and solve simple problems in mathematics and the natural sciences/technology, if necessary with the additional aid of mathematical software.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, compulsory exercises, 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 midterm exam (20%). 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. The midterm exam only counts if it has a positive effect on the final grade. Retake of examination may be given as an oral examination.
