Course/Module description:
1. Integration and the Riemann integral (Darboux's approach). Riemann's criterion for integrability of functions. Families of integrable functions: monotonic functions and continuous functions. Riemann sums. Definition of the integral by Riemann sums. Notion of variation. The fundamental theorem of calculus. Newton-Leibnitz formula. Methods of definite integration: substitution and integration by parts. The indefinite integral: primitives. Integration techniques: by parts and substitution. Integration of rational functions. Integral forms of the remainder in Taylor's theorem. Applications of integrals to geometric and physical problems. Numerical integration. Improper integrals: integrals of unbounded functions, integrals on unbounded intervals. Convergence theorems. Absolute and conditional convergence.
2. Series of real numbers. The sequence of the partial sums. Convergent series. A sufficient condition. Cauchy’s criterion for the convergence of series. Tails and remainders. Series with positive terms. The comparison test, the quotient test, the root test and the condensation test. . Series with terms of alternating signs. Leibniz’s theorem. Dirichlet’s criterion and Abel’s theorem. Absolute convergence and conditional convergence. Associativity and commutativity in a series. Riemann’s theorem on the rearrangement of a conditionally convergent series. The product of absolutely convergent series. The Cauchy product. Applications: definition of the trigonometric functions, decimal representation of the real numbers.
3. Sequences and series of functions. Pointwise and uniform convergence. Cauchy criterion. Uniform convergence and continuity. Dini's theorem. Uniform convergence and integration. Uniform convergence and differentiation. Power series. Region and radius of convergence. Behavior at boundary and Abel's theorem. Power series expansions of elementary functions. Analytic functions.
4. Plane curves. Support of a plane curve. Limits and continuity. Operations: sum, product with a real-valued function, scalar product, composition with a real-valued function ( parametrisation ). Differentiable curves and tangent vector. Arithmetic of derivatives. The chain rule. Smooth plane curves. Real- valued functions of bounded variation. Arc length. Parametrisation by arc length .
