The unit aims to provide some basic tools and concepts for mathematics at the undergraduate level, with particular emphasis on fostering students' ability to think clearly and to appreciate the difference between a mathematically correct treatment and one that is merelyheuristic; introducing rigorous mathematical treatments of some fundamental topics in mathematics and preparing students for higher level pure mathematics courses involving analysis.
Unit Description
Analysis introduces the style of logically precise formulation and reasoning that is characteristic of university-level mathematics; it studies the foundations of elementary calculus in this style using logical quantifiers. It starts from basic properties of the real numbers, studies sequences and series, functions and their limit points, and basic results on continuous functions. It also presents a rigourous treatment of differentiation and integration, and includes inverse functions, series, expronential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions, uniform continuity, and sequences and series of functions.
At the end of the unit, the students should:
The unit will be taught through a combination of
Assessment for learning/Formative assessment:
Assessment of learning/Summative assessment:
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. MATH10011).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
