Prerequisites
Be able to manipulate algebraically and geometrically the functions of one and two variables and their derivatives.
Main themes
The course leads students to study mathematically the convergence of sequences, continuity and differentiability of functions of one and more variables, through the following topics :
- completeness of the set of real numbers and finite dimensional spaces,
- convergence of sequences: definition, examples and counter-examples, properties, method of successive approximations and application to real series,
- continuity : definition, examples and counter-examples, properties, limits and continuous extensions, global theorems,
- derivability and differentiability: definitions, examples and counter-examples, properties, higher order derivatives, Taylor expansion, free and constrained extremality conditions, implicit functions.

Content
Differential calculus in one and several variables :
- real numbers, vector spaces and sequences,
- continuity,
- differentiability,
- Taylor expansion,
- free and constrained optimization problems
- implicit functions and solving equations
Teaching methods
The learning activities consist of lectures and practical sessions.
The lectures aim to introduce the fundamental concepts, to motivate them by showing examples and establishing results, to show their reciprocal links and their links with other courses in the Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences program.
The practical sessions aim at learning to choose and use methods of calculation and to construct demonstrations.
