Course Code: MAS 013
Course Title: Calculus for Computer Scientists II
Number of ECTS: 5
Level of Course: 1st Cycle (Bachelor's Degree) 
Year of Study (if applicable):
Semester/Trimester when the Course Unit is Delivered: Spring Semester 
Name of Lecturer(s): Alecos Vidras
Onti Christos - Raent
 
Lectures/Week: 2 (1.5 hours per lecture) 
Laboratories/week: 1 (-- hours per lecture) 
Tutorials/Week: 1 (1 hours per lecture) 
Course Purpose and Objectives: Introduction to improper integrals of one variable, sequences, series and power series, as well as to basic notions of multivariable calculus and complex numbers. The course is designed for Computer Science students with applications in their field.  
Learning Outcomes: The students are expected to be able to prove the convergence or divergence of improper integrals, sequences and series. They will learn how to express certain functions as power series and use them to compute the sums of series, but also to solve differential equations. The will also learn how to take limits of and differentiate functions of many variables, and apply these notions in order to solve certain geometric and physical problems. They will also learn the basic algebraic properties of complex numbers and use them to solve simple geometric problems.
