Purpose of the course: The development of basic concepts of Mathematical Analysis that apply to many scientific disciplines and in particular to informatics and computer engineering.

Aim of the course: At the completion of the course the students should be capable of understanding the basic concepts of Mathematical Analysis. They should have gained the related techniques that will allow him to deal successfully with application problems. At the end of the course the students should know the fundamentals of derivatives and differentiation, integration of functions, functions of many variables, double and triple integrals. A special focus will apply on the theory complex numbers. The knowledge offered in the course is fundamental to the demands of other courses. The aim of the course will be achieved through selected exercises and optional projects that will be offered to the students during the semester.
