Course Objective
Learning the basics of mathematical analysis; i.e. basic theorems and basic techniques in analysis.
-
We learn already in high school that integration plays a central role in mathematics and physics. One encounters usual Riemann integrals in the notions of area or volume, when solving a differential equation, in the fundamental theorem of calculus, in Stokes' theorem, or in classical and quantum mechanics. One purpose of this course is to introduce more advanced tools and notions of Mathematics such as metric spaces, uniform convergence of sequence of functions and their relation with differentiation and integration.
