What we actually cover
The topics, subject by subject
Analysis and linear algebra, first year
Analysis
- Sequences, series and convergence
- Limits, continuity, epsilon-delta
- Differentiation and Taylor series
- Riemann integration
- Writing a proof that holds up
Linear algebra
- Vector spaces and bases
- Linear maps and matrices
- Determinants
- Eigenvalues and diagonalisation
The step up from Matura or IB
- Why proof, not calculation, is suddenly the subject
- Reading a lecture script that assumes you keep up
- Serie sheets, and how to actually use them
In practice
The step from Matura or IB into a Swiss university maths course catches a lot of strong students off guard. I cover first year analysis, linear algebra, mechanics and introductory programming.
