Description

Continuity and limit for functions of one real variable. Basic properties of continuous functions. Uniform continuity.

In this study-module, students practice reading and writing mathematics. They learn the basics of logic and practice proving mathematical statements.

Learning outcomes

The student

  • knows the epsilon-delta definition for continuity, and is able to apply the definition in simple situations
  • knows the characterization of continuity in terms of limits of sequences
  • is familiar with the most important consequences of continuity
  • knows the definition of limit of a function
  • understands the connection between continuity and limit, and knows how they differ
  • is able to formulate and prove mathematical claims
  • has improved her/his ability to read and write mathematics
