Calculus

Volledige vakbeschrijving

Calculus introduces the students to a theoretical notion of the basic concepts in applied mathematics. The topics discussed in calculus are fundamental for the mathematical aspect of knowledge engineering and, among others, include limits, continuity, differential equations, series and multivariable calculus. Both the intuition behind the concepts and their formal definitions will be presented along with simple examples of formal mathematical proofs. For this reason it is required that the student has completed discrete mathematics in period 1.1. After completing this course the student has obtained a theoretical notion of the basic topics in applied mathematics, and is able to validate all kinds of mathematical arguments.
