General description


A first course in Mathematical Analysis aims to tackle some of the issues which are glossed over in the development of calculus. The central concepts of limit and continuity will be introduced and used to prove rigorously some of the fundamental theorems in analysis. These ideas play a basic part in the subsequent development of mathematics.

Aims


This module aims to tackle some of the issues which are glossed over in the development of the calculus. The central concepts of limit and continuity will be introduced and used to prove rigorously some of the fundamental theorems in analysis. The theoretical aspects of the subject will be developed in conjunction with the techniques required to solve problems.

Learning outcomes


On completion of this module, a student should be able to:

Syllabus

2. BOUNDED SETS: Upper bound, lower bound, infimum, supremum. Completeness axiom for the real numbers.
3. SEQUENCES: Limit of a convergent sequence of real numbers. Formal derivation of some limit theorems. The sandwich theorem. Sequences defined by recurrence relationships. Increasing and decreasing sequences and related convergence theorems. Boundedness of convergent sequences. Subsequences.
4. APPLICATIONS OF THE DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS: Rolle's theorem. Mean-value theorem of the differential calculus. Establishing inequalities using differential calculus. L'Hopital's rule. Leibnitz's theorem. Taylor's theorem, Maclaurin's theorem.
5. INFINITE SERIES: Partial sums. Convergence of infinite series. Examples of convergent and divergent series, including geometric series. Tests for convergence of series of positive terms: comparison test, ratio test, integral test.
