Contents

Fundamentals of mathematics:

  • elementary set theory
  • natural and whole numbers, complete induction, rational numbers
  • mappings, functions, relations
  • elementary propositional logic and its application in mathematical proofs
  • real numbers, inequalities (Bernoulli etc.), complex numbers
  • groups, solids.

Analysis:

  • Consequences: Limits, monotonicity, convergence criteria
  • Series: limits, absolute convergence, convergence criteria, rearrangement of series
  • Continuity and limits of functions: Concepts, equivalent formulations, properties of continuous functions on compact or connected sets (intermediate value theorem), uniform continuity and Heine's theorem.
  • Important functions of analysis and their properties: exponential function and the number e, sine and cosine, logarithm
  • Differentiability: terms, continuous differentiability, mean value theorem of differential calculus, Rolle's theorem, monotonicity, local extrema, l'Hopital's rule
  • Sequences and series of functions: uniform convergence, continuity and differentiability, power series, Taylor's formula
  • Integration theory: definition of the integral, criteria for integrability, primitive function, main theorem of integral and differential calculus, indefinite integrals and their calculation (partial integration, substitution), improper integrals, Fubini's theorem if applicable, Cavalieri principle (this complex of topics can alternatively be treated by the instructor in Analysis II)

Qualification Goals

The students

  • should learn the basics of mathematical reasoning and argumentation,
  • understand the basic principles of calculus of a variable and can use them for the analytical treatment of geometrically, scientifically or technically motivated problems,
  • master the basic concepts and techniques of calculus, especially approximations and limit transitions,
  • use mathematical working methods on concrete problems, they can distinguish between mathematical intuition and formal precision and use and relate both components to each other,
  • recognize the close connections between different mathematical areas by means of the linear structures within calculus as an example,
  • improve their oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and by actively participating in the discussion.
