The objective of this course is to learn mathematical reasoning and rigour, the acquisition of a spirit of synthesis and the initiation to the resolution and writing of exercises within the framework of real analysis, i.e. differential and integral calculus for functions of one or more real variables.
The introduction to Mathematical Analysis is done by presenting the basic tools of differential and integral calculus. The emphasis is on learning rigour and on the initiation to the solution of exercises. Some examples taken from physics illustrate the course. The subject is subdivided into five chapters: Derivatives of numerical functions of one real variable Differentiability of functions of several real variables Integral of a function of a real variable Improper integrals
Examination: The examination will consist of two papers: an oral paper and a written paper. The written examination questions are exercise questions only: they deal with applications of the same kind as those proposed in the tutorials and the course. They aim to assess the student's ability to apply the main concepts and results of the course. For the oral examination, the questions focus on theory. The emphasis is on understanding, accuracy and synthesis. This exam consists of two questions, one typically consisting of stating a result and proving it in context, the other dealing with the concepts, definitions, statement of results (theorems, propositions, etc) presented in the course. The list of theorems to be known with proofs will be communicated in writing. The examination is therefore based on two learning activities, one (oral examination) on theory and the other (written examination) on exercises. As long as each mark is higher than 7, the oral and written parts each count for half of the final mark. If one of the marks is less than 7, the overall mark is equal to the lowest mark. Precise instructions will be given in due course.
