Mathematical Methods A

This course, together with MA0002, will give a sufficient mathematical background for science courses requiring only basic mathematics. The course will introduce functions of one real variable, exponential, logarithm and trigonometric functions, differentiation and integration with applications, implicit differentiation, and linear approximation, geometrical series, Taylorpolynomes, Taylor series and some numerical methods..

1. Knowledge: The student has basic knowledge of mathematical analysis of functions of a single real variable, including limits, continuity, differentiation and integration. The student has more detailed knowledge about special functions, such as exponentials, logarithms and trigonometric functions.

2. Skills: The student is able to apply his or her knowledge of mathematical analysis to solve simple problems from mathematics and the natural sciences.
