The course covers the three sections of

1. Complex numbers,
2. Analysis, and
3. Matrices.

To fully understand mathematics, the essential rules of logic for the formulation of mathematical proofs have to be studied. The various types of mathematical proofs are discussed, mainly using examples in elementary set theory and number systems.

In this course, students are introduced to the basic operations that are performed on sets. In so doing the concepts of relations, functions and binary operations are examined. Next we examine natural numbers and the derived principle of mathematical induction. We discuss permutations, combinations and sequences that are defined recursively with respect to natural numbers. The properties of the integers such as divisibility, greatest common divisor and Euclidean algorithm are examined. We study the field axioms in relation to rational numbers. We solve linear and non-linear inequalities involving the real numbers.

In a broad sense, calculus is the mathematical study of change consisting of differential calculus (concerning rates of change and slopes of curves) and integral calculus (concerning accumulation of quantities and the area under/between curves).

The course continues the study of the fundamental concepts of the differential and integral calculus of a single variable. The used approach is intuitive and informal but nevertheless prepares students to understand the rigorous proofs at a subsequent level. While there is a considerable overlap with the ideas encountered in Calculus A, a greater emphasis is put on the fundamental ideas involved in differentiation and integration. The main results are derived and illustrated although often heuristic proofs are used. 

This course will treat the limits, continuity and differentiability of a function of a single variable from a more rigorous point of view. Double integrals are introduced and methods for their evaluation are considered.

This course exposes students to rigorous mathematical definitions of limits of sequences of numbers and functions, classical results about continuity and series of numbers and their proofs. A major emphasis is placed on the proper use of definitions for the rigorous proof of theorems. The following topics will be covered: The real number system, topological properties of real numbers, sequences, continuity and uniform continuity.

This course is an introduction to complex analysis, or the theory of the analytic functions of a complex variable. Such functions, beautiful on their own, are immediately useful in Physics, Engineering, and Signal Processing. However, the concepts introduced in complex analysis are nowadays also ubiquitous in number theory and combinatorics.

Students will calculate line integrals, and the techniques they will learn in this course will help them get past many of the seeming “dead ends” they ran up against in calculus. Indeed, most of the definite integrals they will learn to evaluate cannot be solved except through techniques from complex analysis.

In this "course" we collect documents & links to procedures in the department and the faculty.
