Eligibility
General entry requirements for bachelor's level studiesSpecific entry requirements
Mathematics 2a or 2b or 2c or equivalent and English 6Course specific prerequisites
Examination certificate from upper secondary school including or complemented by the courses 2a or 2b or 2c in mathematics.Aim
The aim of the course is to give basic knowledge in mathematical analysis. The course will also supply a good base for further studies.Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- understand how mathematics is build on definitions and theorems.
- simplify algebraic expressions.
- solve systems of linear equations system.
- use the laws of exponens.
- fundamental geometry.
- fundamental trigometric.
- solve trigonometric equations.
- solve inequalitys.
- define absolute value.
- define the concepts of limit and continuity and calculate limits.
- define the concepts of derivative and differentiation and use the definition of derivative.
- calculate the derivatives of elementary functions.
- use the fundamental rules of differentiation.
- outline the elementary functions and account for their properties.
- define the concepts of increasing (decreasing) function and local maximum (minimum) value.
- construct graphs of functions and calculate the absolute maximum (minimum) value of a function.
- define the concept of inverse function, calculate inverse functions and their derivates.
- calculate with complex numbers.
- solve algebraic equations.
- understand and use sigma notation.
- use the technique of mathematical induction.
- define the concepts of antiderivative, definite integral and improper integral.
- use the fundamental rules of integration.
- use the most common methods for solving differential equations.
- formulate, and in certain cases prove, fundamental theorems in analysis as, e g the connection between continuity and differentiation, the connection between area and antiderivatives and the mean-value theorem.
- interpret limits, derivatives and integrals geometrically.
- apply his/hers knowledge of derivatives and integrals to simpler applied problems.
- basics in programming with applications in mathematics and physics.

Organisation
Teaching takes place through lectures and exercises.Literature
Håkan Blomqvist: Matematik för tekniskt basår, del 1-3, Matematiklitteratur.Examination including compulsory elements
Written examinations are carried out for the modules A, B, C and D. Grading TH.
The programming module is obligatory part of the course, with mainly web-based examination. Grading UG.
Completed course corresponds to depth and content at least the upper secondary school's course Mathematics 4.
The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers about disability study support.
