Overview
Module aims and purpose
This module provides an introduction to mathematical analysis and covers concepts such as inequalities, sequences and series as well as functions and their fundamental properties.聽聽
The module aims to provide a rigorous foundation for further topics in analysis and its applications with the emphasis on understanding the concepts rather than mechanical computations.聽
Module learning outcomes
By the end of the module, it is expected that students will be able to:聽
- Understand the real number system聽
- Understand the basic theory of sequence and series of real numbers聽
- Understand the basic properties of real-valued functions of one real variable聽
- Apply the theory to solve problems in mathematics聽
Module content
The module builds on MA1FM, beginning with the real number system, fundamental inequalities, concepts of limits of sequences, infinite series, and the basic properties of functions, such as continuity, before finally developing these into a rigorous understanding of calculus.聽
Structure
Teaching and learning methods
Lectures supported by exercise sheets and tutorials.聽
Study hours
