Syllabus

• Differentiation: Definitions and properties, Standard rules for differentiation, Extrema, Mean value theorem, Monotonicity and Convexity.
• Riemann integrability and the Riemann integrals.
• Integrability of continuous functions; characterisations of integrability; properties of the integral.
• Sequences and series of functions:
• Pointwise and uniform convergence; examples of pointwise converging sequences with bad  behaviour (regarding continuity, differentiation, integration);
• Theorems about good behaviour under uniform convergence; Weierstrass' M-test;
• Dominated Convergence Theorem; pointwise limits of continuous functions.
• Taylor series. Computing radius of convergence; uniform convergence of power series; Lagrange's form of the remainder.

Course Aims

To further develop understanding of the concepts, techniques, and tools of calculus. Calculus is the mathematical study of variation. This course emphasises differential and integral calculus, sequences and series of functions.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course the student should:

• be able to state the main definitions and theorems of the course;
• be able to prove most results from the course;
• be familiar with the concept of differentiability and understand theorems about differentiable functions;
• understand Riemann integration and theorems about the Riemann integral;
• be able to apply techniques for showing integrability or non-integrability of functions;
• be able to distinguish between pointwise and uniform convergence of sequences of functions;
• be able to compute Taylor series, compute the interval of convergence of power series, and use Taylor's theorem to estimate functions by polynomials.
