Learning Outcomes

In the Real Analysis course the student learns to differentiate and integrate multivariable functions. The general theory of series is also briefly discussed. The central topic in the course is vector analysis, where vector fields are differentiated and integrated. Vector fields include, for instance, electric-, and magnetic fields, and the velocity field of a fluid. Hence vector analysis has plenty of applications, among other things, in electromagnetism and fluid dynamics.
