Learning Outcomes

Having successfully completed this module you will be able to:

• Determine whether a series of positive terms converges, either by explicitly summing the series or by using a test, such as the comparison test, the ratio test, the root test, or the integral test
• Understand when one can differentiate and integrate a power series
• Determine a radius and interval of convergence for a given power series
• Determine whether a given improper integral converges
• Determine whether a sequence of real numbers converges, either by evaluating the limit directly or by showing the sequence is bounded and monotone
• Define an improper integral
• Find the Taylor series of a given function
• Prove using the definition that a given sequence converges to a given limit

• Real numbers, bounded subsets of the reals, supremum and infimum, the Archimedean property of the real numbers.
• Sequences and their limits, arithmetic of limits, inequalities for limits.

Summative

This is how we’ll formally assess what you have learned in this module.

Referral

This is how we’ll assess you if you don’t meet the criteria to pass this module.

Repeat

An internal repeat is where you take all of your modules again, including any you passed. An external repeat is where you only re-take the modules you failed.
