Course content
1. Sequence as a model of a discrete system - recurrence and difference equation. Sequence as a mathematical object - algebra and properties, convergence and divergence. Sequence of partial sums - infinite sums. Sequences in finance, biology and social sciences. 2. Function as a model of a continuous system - basic functions, graphs, diagrams. Function operations, continuity, composed function. Local properties. Function as a tool of description of natural and economic quantities and dependences. 3. Fundaments of differential calculus - difference, differential, derivative. Methods of differentiation. Modeling of changes in natural sciences, economy and social sciences. 4. Methods of differential calculus - basic optimization, formulation of basic natural laws. Primitive function and methods of solving simple differential equations. Potential. 5. Definite integral as a model of a balance principle. Properties and methods of calculations. Integral sum - geometric and physical interpretation. 6. Local polynomial approximation of a function - Taylor formula, derivatives and differentials of higher orders, simple approximate calculations.
