Syllabus
- Real numbers, axiomatic foundation of the set of real numbers (emphasis in the notion of supremum and infimim), natural numbers, induction, classical inequalities.
- Functions, graph of a function, monotone functions, bounded functions, periodic functions. Injective and surjective functions, inverse of a function. Trigonometric functions, inverse trigonometric functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, hyperbolic and inverse hyperbolic functions.
- Sequences of real numbers, convergent sequences, monotone sequences, sequences defined by recursion, limits of monotone sequences, nested intervals. The notion of subsequence, Bolzano Weierstass’ Theorem, Cauchy sequences. Accumulation points of sequences, upper and lower limit of a sequence (limsup, liminf).
- Continuity of functions, accumulation points and isolated points, limits of functions, one sided limits, limits on plus infinity and minus infinity. Continuity of several basic functions, local behaviour of a continuous function. Bolzano Theorem and intermediate value theorem. Characterization of continuity via sequences, properties of continuous functions defined on closed intervals, continuity of inverse functions.
- Derivative of a function, definition and geometric interpretation, examples and applications in sciences. The derivatives of elementary functions, derivation rules, higher order derivation. Rolle’s Theorem, Mean Value Theorem, Darboux’s theorem. Derivative and the monotonicity of a function, extrema of functions, convex and concave functions, inflection points.
