Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module, a student should be able to:
1. determine the Fourier series of integrable functions of arbitrary period;
2. apply Fourier series techniques to the summation of infinite series;
3. describe the notions of continuity and differentiability for functions of several variables;
4. establish whether functions of two or more variables are continuous and differentiable;
5. determine whether infinite series are convergent by using various convergence tests;
6. describe the notion of uniform convergence of sequences of functions;
7. use the Weierstrass M-test to test the uniform convergence of infinite series of functions;
8. determine the radius of convergence of power series;
9. use standard convergence theorems concerning power series.
Brief description
The study of real analysis is of paramount importance to any student who wishes to go beyond the routine manipulation of formulae to solve standard problems. The ability to think deductively and analyse complicated examples is essential to modify and extend concepts to new contexts. The module is geared to meet these needs.
Aims
In this module, the analytical techniques, developed in MA11110, will be extended to a more general setting. This module will provide the foundations of classical analysis in a concrete setting, with a special emphasis on applications.
Content
2. CALCULUS OF SEVERAL VARIABLES: Continuity, differentiability, partial derivatives, higher order and mixed partial derivatives.
3. THEORY OF INFINITE SERIES: Tests for convergence, including comparison test, ratio test, integral test. Power series, radius of convergence, absolute convergence.
4. UNIFORM CONVERGENCE OF SEQUENCE OF FUNCTIONS: Uniform convergence of series, the Weierstrass M-test.
Notes
This module is at CQFW Level 5
