Calculus and Geometry
7.5 ECTS creditsInstruction is in the form of lectures and exercises.
Main course components:
- Integrals: primitive functions, fundamental theorem of calculus, integration by substitution, partial integration, integration of rational functions, generalised integrals.
- Applications of integrals: areas of plane domains, arc lengths, volumes of solids of revolution.
- Ordinary differential equations: first order linear and separable differential equations, linear differential equations with constant coefficients, and integral equations.
- Series: the concepts convergence and divergence, geometric series, comparison test, ratio test, integral test.
- Vectors in the plane and space, scalar and vector product, lines and planes, distance between points, lines and planes.
- Equations for surfaces and equations and parametric representations of curves.
