Examination semester:Every autumn semester
Language of instruction:Norwegian
Administrated by:Department of Mathematics
Detailed course information - Current and previous semesters:

Course content

Complex numbers, completeness, sequences, continuity, differentiability, L'Hôpital's rule, inverse functions, inverse trigonometric functions, integration, integration techniques,
vectors, matrices, functions of several variables, partial derivatives.

Learning outcomes

The course gives a thorough introduction to central beginning topics in real analysis. MAT1100 Calculus serves as a foundation for further studies in mathematics based sciences. The course extends and elaborates central parts of high school mathematics and explains the importance of real analysis through examples and applications.

Admission

Students at UiO must apply for courses in StudentWeb.

International applicants, if you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about admission requirements and procedures for international applicants.

The examination in this course is not available for external candidates. Only students admitted to the course may sit for the examination.

4 hours of lectures, 2 hours of exercises and 2 hours problem sessions in plenum per week.

Exam information

Two compulsory assignments have to be handed in and approved to be allowed access to the final exam.

Detailed information about compulsory assignments will be published on the course information page at the beginning of the semester.

Midterm exam and final exam at the end of the semester add up to the final grade. Both exams are compulsory and have to be taken in the same semester.

Midterm exam counts for 1/3 and the final exam counts for 2/3. The final grade is based on the total score and a general impression after the final examination.

Language of examination

Students may, on subjects where the language of instruction is Norwegian and the examination form is written exam, ask for the exam paper in Bokmål, Nynorsk or English. Closing date for registering the chosen examination language is September 1st for the fall semester and February 1st for the spring semester.
Please view the web page of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences on how to proceed
Subjects taught in English will offer the exam paper in English only.
This rule also applies for subjects where the exam form is dependent on the number of students and written exam is chosen by the teaching staff.

Assessment and grading

Course grades are awarded on a descending scale using alphabetic grades from A to E for passes and F for fail. Read more about the grading system .

Possibility of make-up exams and re-takes

This subject offers new examination in the beginning of the subsequent term for candidates who withdraw during an ordinary examination or fail an ordinary examination. Deferred examinations for students who due to illness or other valid reason of absence were unable to sit for their final exams will be arranged at the same time. (These valid reasons has to be documented within given deadlines.)

For general information about new and deferred examination, see
http://www.mn.uio.no/studier/admin/eksamen/utsatt-og-ny-eksamen/index.html

More information about examination at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences can be found here

Withdrawing from exams and limits on re-takes

A student can sit for this exam up to 3 times. If a student wishes to withdraw from the exam, s/he must do this in StudentWeb at least two weeks prior to the first day of the exam. Failure to do so will be counted as one of the three opportunities to sit for the exam.

Exam options for students with special needs

Students may apply for access to alternative exam resources or exam forms on the basis of chronic illness and/or special needs that create a marked disadvantage to other students in the exam situation. Mothers who are breastfeeding may apply for extra time to complete the exam.

Evaluation of this course

Feedback from our students is essential to us in our efforts to ensure and further improve the high quality of our programmes and courses. As a student at the University of Oslo you will therefore be asked to participate in various types of evaluation of our courses, facilities and services. All courses are subject to continuous evaluation. At regular intervals we also ask students on a particular course to participate in a more comprehensive, in-depth evaluation of this course, a so called "periodic evaluation".
