Description
In the lectures a number of topics from the analysis are discussed.
Topics includes integral calculus, functions of two variables, complex numbers, series and other topics as time permits.
Course objectives
Upon successful completion of the course, a student will be able to
Perform basic computation with complex numbers
Be able to compute limits of sequences
Be able to apply various tests to study series convergence
Understand the concept and be able to compute definite and indefinite integrals of elementary functions using a variety of methods
Analyze behavior of multivariate functions
Solve basic problems of linear programming
Timetable
In MyTimetable, you can find all course and programme schedules, allowing you to create your personal timetable. Activities for which you have enrolled via MyStudyMap will automatically appear in your timetable.
Additionally, you can easily link MyTimetable to a calendar app on your phone, and schedule changes will be automatically updated in your calendar. You can also choose to receive email notifications about schedule changes. You can enable notifications in Settings after logging in.
Questions? Watch the video, read the instructions, or contact the ISSC helpdesk.
Note: Joint Degree students from Leiden/Delft need to combine information from both the Leiden and Delft MyTimetables to see a complete schedule. This video explains how to do it.
Mode of Instruction
Integrated lecture-seminar, twice a week.
The first 60 minutes will be dedicated to the discussion of new material, and in the last 30 minutes the students can work on exercises and pose questions.
Assessment method
Written exam, 4-5 homework assignments and 3 online quizzes.
Students can earn a bonus of maximum 1 point on their exam grade by handing in homework every other week and participating in online quizzes.
The final grade is determined by adding bonus to the grade of the written exam, and then rounding off to the nearest half integer (e.g. 7.24 becomes 7 and 7.25 becomes 7 1/2).
Grades 5.4 and lower are rounded to a 5 and grades from 5.5 and higher to a 6. The final grade can never be more than a 10.
The bonus points for the same semester can be used for the retake.

Registration
As a student, you are responsible for enrolling on time through MyStudyMap.
In this short video, you can see step-by-step how to enrol for courses in MyStudyMap.
Extensive information about the operation of MyStudyMap can be found here.
There are two enrolment periods per year:
Enrolment for the fall opens in July
Enrolment for the spring opens in December
See this page for more information about deadlines and enrolling for courses and exams.
Note:
It is mandatory to enrol for all activities of a course that you are going to follow.
Your enrolment is only complete when you submit your course planning in the ‘Ready for enrolment’ tab by clicking ‘Send’.
Not being enrolled for an exam/resit means that you are not allowed to participate in the exam/resit.

Software
Starting from the 2024/2025 academic year, the Faculty of Science will use the software distribution platform Academic Software. Through this platform, you can access the software needed for specific courses in your studies. For some software, your laptop must meet certain system requirements, which will be specified with the software. It is important to install the software before the start of the course. More information about the laptop requirements can be found on the student website.
