What is Mathematical Analysis?
\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^2} = \frac{\pi^2}{6}
\displaystyle e^x = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^n}{n!}
\displaystyle \int_a^b f(x) dx=\lim_{n\to \infty} \sum_{n=0}^{n} f(x_i)\Delta x_i
\displaystyle f'(a) = \lim_{x\to a} \frac{f(x)- f(a)}{x-a}
What is Mathematical Analysis?
Essentially, it is the study of limts (and related theories) using the axiomatic properties of real numbers.

Mathematical Analysis
We are going to prove statements like:
0\cdot x = 0
\displaystyle \lim_{n\to\infty} \int_0^1 \frac{nx+ \sin(nx^2)}{n} \,dx = 0

Why should I read the complementary material? π€
- Reading is, in general, a very useful cognitive exercise.
- In mathematical analysis, it can help you gain a deeper understanding of the concepts and theorems being presented, and develop your ability to think logically and rigorously.
- You are studing maths!
