Course content
The subject covers the fundamentals of metric spaces, the theory of series of functions, and the differential calculus of functions of several real variables. Lectures: 1. Metric spaces: metric, norm, examples of metric spaces. Inner product, Euclidean space. 2. Metric spaces: other notions (distance of sets, open and close sets, neighborhood of a point, interior points, boundary etc.). 3. Convergence in metric spaces. Mappings between metric spaces, limits and continuity. 4. Completeness, separability, compactness. 5. Sequences of functions, pointwise and uniform convergence. 6. Theorem on the continuity of the limit of a uniformly convergent sequence. 7. Power series, radius and disk of convergence. 8. Term-by-term differentiation and integration of power series. Application to series summation. 9. Functions of several variables, domain, graph, contour lines, level surfaces. 10. Directional and partial derivatives, total differential. Curve, surface, tangent line, normal line, tangent plane. 11. Partial derivatives of the composite function. Implicit function. 12. Local extrema of functions of several variables. 13. Absolut extrema and constrained extrema. 14. Reserve.
