Module summary

Because A-level and other entry courses differ in their syllabuses, this module revises differential and integral calculus before obtaining further results which fall outside the core A-level syllabus (e.g. on hyperbolic functions). The differential calculus of functions of several variables is developed, also.

Objectives

To continue the study of Differential and Integral Calculus with some revision of A-level work, in order to provide a uniform background knowledge of the subject. To extend differential calculus to functions of several variables, and functions defined by power series.

On completion of this module, students should be able to:
(a) Calculate the derivatives and integrals of elementary functions;
(b) Determine whether functions are injective, surjective, odd or even;
(c) Compute Taylor series, compute the radius of convergence of a power series;
(d) Calculate partial derivatives of any order, compute Taylor series of multivariate functions.

Syllabus

1. Basic function terminology: domain, codomain, range, injectivity, surjectivity, odd and even functions.
2. Differentiation: Limits (informal), definition of teh derivative, methods of differentiation, the Mean Value Theorem.
3. Hyperbolic functions and their inverses: Properties; derivatives.
4. Integration: The Riemann integral (informal), Fundamental Theorem of the Calculus, methods of integration.
5. Taylor's Series: Taylor's Theorem, power series, radius of convergence.
6. Partial differentiation: partial derivative of all orders, multivariate Taylor's series.
