| Unit Description: | The limits of sequences and limits of functions are studied in this unit. Initially we study them in one dimensional space and then in higher dimensions. We also study series and various tests are derived to determine the convergence or otherwise of these series. We then extend the basic idea of limit to include sequences of functions and sequences of sets. A powerful theorem called The Contraction Mapping Theorem will be derived. This theorem plays a fundamental role in analysis and its applications. We will use it to establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions to certain differential equations. We then use it together with the Hausdorff metric to study iterated function systems which are used in computer graphics. |
