Course Summary​

This is a course that covers a good deal of concepts relating to calculus, from basics like limits and first principles, to concepts that are most likely new, like Taylor series approximations and big-o notation. The specific topics that are covered are:

  1. Sets
  2. Functions
  3. Limits
  4. Derivatives
  5. Integrals
  6. Differenital Equations
  7. Series
  8. Taylor Series
  9. Power Series

Workload​

Workload is quite heavy. Being a 4AU course, there is naturally more content to cover, and for most students a lot of this content is likely either new or very rigorous. There are weekly lectures, tutorials, as well as midterms and a final exam.

Projects​

No projects.

Tips to Do Well​

The content covered in this course is quite challenging, and there is a lot of new mathematical notation and ideas that are introduced. Students are taught to think and prove mathematical ideas rigorously. This can be a challenging learning curve, but is also one that makes subsequent math modules (like MH2100 Calculus III) more manageable.
