Learning Outcomes
At the end of this course, the student shall demonstrate the ability to:- Complex Numbers
- Understand the notion of a complex number.
- Apply the algebra of complex numbers (add, subtract, multiply, and divide).
- Understand the geometry of complex numbers.
- Understand and use the complex conjugate.
- Understand and compute the magnitude of a complex number.
- Use the trigonometric form of complex numbers.
- Apply De Moivre's Theorem.
- Apply Euler's Formula.
- Sequences and Series
- Understand the notion of a sequence.
- Understand the limiting behavior of sequences.
- Given a sequence, determine whether or not it converges, and if it does, find the limit.
- Understand the concept and notation of a series
- Be able to recognize a geometric, p-, and harmonic series.
- Determine the convergence of a series by appropriate tests, including the integral, comparison, alternating series , ratio, and root tests.
- Find the interval of convergence for a power series.
- Apply Taylor's Theorem to find polynomial approximations to given functions and estimate their accuracy.
- Matrix Algebra
- Write a system of linear equations in matrix form and describe the nature of the solutions.
