MA2509: ANALYSIS II (2023-2024)

Last modified: 23 Jul 2024 10:43


Course Overview

Analysis provides the rigorous, foundational underpinnings of calculus. This course builds on the foundations in Analysis I, and explores the notions of differential calculus, Riemann integrability, sequences of functions, and power series.

The techniques of careful rigorous argument seen in Analysis I will be further developed. Such techniques will be applied to solve problems that would otherwise be inaccessible. As in Analysis I, the emphasis of this course is on valid mathematical proofs and correct reasoning.

Course Description

- Differentiation of functions of one variable: basic definitions and properties, chain rule, basic results on differentiable functions, Rolle's Theorem, Mean Value Theorem.

- Riemann integrability: Riemann sums, basic properties, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, improper integrals - Sequences of functions: pointwise convergence, uniform convergence, properties of limits of functions, series of functions

- Power series: convergence, continuity, differentiability, integrability, Taylor series

 

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.
