Course content

This course is a continuation of high school calculus, but goes deeper into the theoretical foundations and develops the methods further in order to deal with more complicated cases. The course also contains introductions to complex numbers, power series, and continuity. MAT1100 builds on the most advanced mathematics courses from upper secondary education and forms the basis for MAT1110 – Calculus and Linear Algebra.

Learning outcome

After completing the course

  • you know how to carry out proofs by induction, and you can provide simple mathematical arguments and present them in a clear and understandable way with suitable notation and terminology
  • you are familiar with the complex numbers and can calculate with them in Cartesian and polar form
  • you are familiar with the Completeness Principle for the real numbers and know how it is used in developing the theory of functions of one variable
  • you know how to define continuity, limits, derivatives, and integrals precisely, and can compute limits, derivatives, and integrals of functions of one variable
  • you can use the theory in the course to solve modeling problems, especially problems concerning integration, optimization, and related rates
  • you can present your calculations and arguments in a clear and coherent way with suitable notation and terminology.
  • you can find formulas for solutions to some differential equations
  • you can compute Taylor polynomials with remainder
  • you know what it means for a series to converge, know how to use tests of convergence to decide convergence and find regions of convergence
