Course aims

To offer to the students an overview of terms and notions of diferential and integral calculus, which are useful for those who choose to teach mathematics at the first and the secondary school level.

Brief description of the course

The set of real numbers. The concept of a function. Function composition. Inverse function. Graph sketching using simple transformations. The exponential and logarithmic function. Trigonometric functions. Sequences. Limit of a sequences. Limit of a function, its properties and conditions for existence. Continuous functions, their properties. Functions continuous on a closed interval. Derivative of a function, its properties, interpretations and conditions for existence. Differentiability and differential of a function. Higher-order derivatives and differentials. Mean value theorems in differential calculus, their applications to the finding of limits and treating of functions. Applications in geometry. Indefinite integral, its properties, changing the variable of integration. Definite integral, its properties, geometric interpretation. Newton-Leibniz formula. Measurable sets on the plane, their areas. Geometric and physical applications of definite integrals.
Attending lectures is a prerequisite of the learning process.
