Main themes
  • Recall of elementary functions (rational functions, roots, exponential and logarithm, trigonometric functions).
  • Functions of one real variable (continuity and limits, derivatives and extrema, integrals and primitives).
  • Vector calculus (vectors in R^2 and R^3 and their components, norm, scalar product and link with orthogonal projection, vector product, parallelism and orthogonality).
  • Complex numbers.
  • Introduction to differential equations (first order equations with separable variables, first and second order linear equations with constant coefficients).
