81854 - Mathematical Analysis 1B

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, students will have completed their foundational knowledge of Mathematical Analysis. In particular, with regard to real-valued functions of a real variable, they will have completed their study of differential calculus and acquired knowledge of integral calculus. They will also have acquired knowledge of numerical series. Students will be able to apply this knowledge to the solution of simple practical problems arising in the pure and applied sciences.

Course contents

Local extrema.

Convex functions. Convexity criterion. Graphing functions of one real variable.

Riemann integral for functions of one real variable. Fundamental theorems of integral calculus. Antiderivatives. Application of integral calculus: first order linear differential equations.

Improper integrals. Numerical series.

Readings/Bibliography

Some teaching material will be uploaded on the web site "Virtuale" [https://virtuale.unibo.it/]

To study in depth the topics of the course, students can consult the following books.

Theory:

Teaching methods

Lectures and exercises in the classroom.

Assessment methods

The examination consists of a preliminary written test and an oral one.

The written test consists of five exercises related to the arguments of the course in 2 hours and 30'. In order to participate to the written test the student must register at least four days before the test through AlmaEsami [https://almaesami.unibo.it/]. The written test is passed with a minimum score of 15 out of 30.

The written test remains valid for the oral exam in the same examination period.

The test about the theory follows the written test; it mainly concerns the theoretical aspects of the course. The student must show to know the concepts explained during the course (in particular definitions, theorems and their proofs) and how to connect them.
