This course revises ideas associated with continuous functions, including the idea of an inverse, differentiation and integration, and sets them in a more fundamental context which permits a better understanding of their properties. The properties of inequalities are reviewed. The concept of limits is introduced. Complex numbers are introduced in both Cartesian and polar form. de Moivre's theorem and complex nth roots are introduced. First and second order differential equations are introduced, and methods for solving them are studied. Partial differentiation along with applications are introduced.
