MMT422N: Mathematics/Applied Mathematics: Real Analysis-I
Credits: 3 THEORY + 1 TUTORIAL Theory: 45 Hours & Tutorial: 15 Hours
Course Objectives: To make students learn (i) basic concepts and properties of real numbers,
(ii) the behavior of sequences and series in real system.
Course Outcome: After the completion of this course, students shall be able to (i) apply these concepts to
determine convergence and divergence of real sequences and infinite series
(ii) explore new ideas in mathematical and modern analysis.
