The main topics in this course are Differentiation and Integration. The focus will be divided equally between the computational aspects and on the understanding of limits and convergence via rigorous proofs. This is a compulsory course for first-year BSMS students.
Prerequisites
None
Lectures
Wednesdays and Fridays: 8:45-9:45am in NLH
Saturdays before mid-semester exam: 12-1pm in NLH

Homework
Weekly homework assignments will be uploaded on the Google Classroom page for this course by Saturday evening. These do not need to be submitted and will not be graded.
Tests
A short test will be taken at the beginning of each tutorial session based on the homework assignment of the previous week.
Exams
There will be one mid-semester exam and one final exam.
Grading
The final score is calculated as follows:
Weekly tests (40%)
Mid-semester exam (30%)
End-semester exam (30%)
The two lowest weekly-test scores will be dropped before calculation, but no further relaxations will be made for sickness, emergencies, institute events etc.
