| Part I: Sequences & Series
Sequences: definition, notion of convergence, properties of limit, sandwich Theorem, examples including 1/n, rn, (_1)n, sin(n), n, (_1)nn, c1/n for c > 0. Series: partial sums, definition of convergence, geometric progression, comparison test, telescopic sum, examples including 1/nP. Part II: Linear Algebra in dimensions 2 and 3 Basic material: system of linear equations, elementary operations, linear transformation in R2 and R3. Determinant: definition and its geometric meaning. Rigid motions in R2 & R3: isometry, symmetry of planar objects, distance preserving maps. Eigenvalues: definition and examples including symmetric matrices. Conic sections: examples and properties. Part III: Introduction to Integration Basic material: definition of integral as a Riemann sum, elementary properties: linearity, order preserving, integral of |f | versus modulus of integral. Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: statement and proof for continuous functions, computation of __0^x_f(t)dt for step functions and f (x) = |x|. Further topics: integration by parts, change of variables, Cauchy-Schwarz inequality. Part IV: Set Theory II Finite & infinite sets: countable and uncountable sets, Hilbert's infinite hotel, Russell's barber paradox, power set, sets indexed by another set. Fundamental arguments: Cantor's Theorem, Cantor's diagonalization argument, Schroder-Bernstein Theorem |
