COURSE SYNOPSIS
Limits, continuity and differentiability. Definition and proofs of important theorems via the
application of    concept.

Power series: radius of convergence, interval of convergence, differentiation and

integration of power series.

Taylor series: expansion of basic functions (e.g., sin x, cos x, log (1 + x), exp (x)).
Taylor’s formula for the remainder, improper integrals, convergence and divergence
tests.

Partial derivatives: total differential, chain rule, implicit function, Maximum and minimum,
Lagrange multiplier.

Multiple integral: iterated integral, variable conversion.

Sequences: introduction to limit of a sequence, limit theorems, techniques of finding

limits and sequence of functions.
