This module is not approved as a discovery module
Calculus is arguably the most significant and useful mathematical idea ever invented, with applications throughout the natural sciences and beyond. This module develops the theory of differential and integral calculus of real functions in a precise and mathematically rigorous way. Particular emphasis will be put on sequential notions.
a) To develop a mathematically rigorous theory of differential and integral calculus for real functions of a
single variable, including all the standard foundational results.
b) To develop the theory of power series, and explore the difference between smoothness and analyticity.
c) To introduce the concept of uniform convergence, and use it to analyze suitable double limit problems.
On completion of this module, students should be able to:
a) Define precisely the central objects of calculus (limits, derivatives, the Riemann integral).
b) Determine whether a given function is continuous, differentiable, integrable.
c) Compute derivatives and integrals from first principles.
d) Understand the difference between differentiable, smooth and analytic functions.
e) Compute Taylor expansions with controlled errors.
f) Construct rigorous proofs of (a selection of) the theorems presented.
a) Review of sequential definitions of continuity and limits, epsilon-delta criteria, their equivalence.
b) Differentiability, elementary properties (differentiability implies continuity, linearity, the product and
chain rules).
c) Functions differentiable on an interval: the Mean Value Theorem, L'Hospital's Rule, Taylor's Theorem with
remainder,
d) The Riemann Integral: dissections, upper and lower sums. Continuous functions are integrable. Monotonic
functions are integrable. The algebra of integrable functions. The Fundamental Theorem of the Calculus.
e) Uniform convergence versus pointwise convergence, double limits.
f) Power series: differentiability, smoothness. Smooth functions which are not analytic.
