Description
This module is an introduction to mathematical analysis, one of the most important and well-developed strands of pure mathematics with many elegant and beautiful theorems, and also with applications to many areas of mathematics, theoretical statistics, econometrics, and optimisation. The aim is to introduce students to the ideas of formal denitions and rigorous proofs (one of the fundamental features of modern mathematics, and something that is not familiar from A-level), and to develop their powers of logical thinking. This module is a prerequisite for Complex Analysis, MATH0013 (previously MATH2101) and provides a useful foundation for courses such as Logic, MATH0050 (previously MATH6801). The module is intended for second or third year students in departments outside Mathematics, particularly in Economics or Statistics. Students taking this module should be mathematically able and will normally have demonstrated this by achieving a strong result in a module such as MATH0047 (previously MATH6403) or having an A* in Further Mathematics A-level.
