OVERVIEW

The course is a standard introduction to Calculus: differential and integral calculus in one variable, some differential equations, differential calculus in two variables. The various topics will be presented mainly via examples and intuitive justifications; in some cases formal proofs will be given. Exercise sessions are very important for the course.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course aims at giving the basic tools of calculus. At the end of the course, students will understand the basic concepts of mathematical analysis and will be able to solve some problems using such tools. Another goal of the course is to train students in rigorous thinking.

TEACHING METHODS

Traditional: theory lessons, exercises sessions, support by tutors; exercises for independent training are given to students.

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

Differential calculus in one variable (limits, continuity, derivatives, Taylor formula, study of functions). Integral calculus in one variable (primitives, definite integrals and areas, improper integrals, study of integral functions). Differential equations (separation of variables, linear equations of first order, linear equations with constant coefficients). Differential calculus in two variables (limits, continuity, partial derivatives, level curves, tangent lines and planes, max, min and hessian matrix).
