Introduction to Mathematical Analysis

Catalog description

This course formally introduces main concepts in the field of real analysis, the mathematical analysis of functions of a real variable. Although Calculus was discovered in independently by Newton and Leibniz in the seventeenth century, the mathematics behind it was not formalized until the nineteenth century. Mathematical analysis formalizes the delta-epsilon definition of limit and related concepts, including limits which are used in calculus to define derivatives and integrals, thus making precise the mathematics behind the calculus.
