This course deals with the theory of sequences and series, and discusses their applications to the theory of functions. It also gives an introduction to differential equations and the theory of functions of several variables. It provides the necessary mathematical background for further study in mathematics, computing science and other subjects.

This course is a continuation of Advanced Mathematics I-1. It further develops the theory of integration of a function of one variable. It introduces sequences and series and studies the notion of convergence. It also provides a first introduction to partial differentiation and ordinary differential equations, which are fundamental in applications of Mathematics to other sciences.
