Course Syllabus

Abstract

This course is a continuation of Calculus MT1 174 which is taught for the second-year students. It lasts for one (spring) semester.
Learning Objectives

Learning Objectives

  • - to enable students to acquire skills in additional topics of calculus and help them to acquire math knowledge sufficient to apply for economic modeling, - to prepare students for further courses in mathematics.
Expected Learning Outcomes

Expected Learning Outcomes

  • apply Direct Comparison and Limit Comparison Test enabling to assess the convergence of such integrals
  • approximate the value of definite integral by the upper and lower estimates of sums
  • Appyly Laplace transform to the solution of differential equations
  • change the variables technique along with the change in order of integration in repeated integrals
  • check the uniform convergence of the improper integrals with parameter, manipulations include: differentiation and integration with respect to parameter along with the continuity of such integrals
  • handle the evaluation of the limits by performing changes of the variables/ employing Taylor; expansion and L’Hopitale rule
