This module introduces some of the mathematical theory behind calculus. It answers questions such as:
What properties of the real numbers do we use when doing calculus?
What does it mean to say that a series converges to a limit?
Are there kinds of function that are guaranteed to have a maximum value?
The module is a first introduction, with many examples, to the beautiful and important branch of pure mathematics known as analysis.
