Convergence of Infinite Sequences and Series - Advanced Calculus (Undergraduate Advanced)This course provides a complete toolkit for the study of infinite sequences and series. It begins with a rigorous treatment of the convergence of sequences and the algebra of limits. The course then covers the foundational theory of infinite series and provides a comprehensive study of all standard tests for convergence, culminating in an introduction to power series.
The concepts of convergence and infinite series are essential in physics, engineering, and computer science. They are used to solve differential equations, analyse signals with Fourier series, calculate probabilities, and determine the accuracy of numerical approximations. This is the mathematical machinery behind precision in scientific modelling.
By the end of this course, you will be able to determine if an infinite sequence converges and find its limit. You will also be able to apply the complete suite of convergence tests—including the Integral, Comparison, Ratio, Root, and Alternating Series tests—to determine if an infinite series converges, and find the radius and interval of convergence for any power series.
This course is for students who have completed a foundational calculus course. It is the standard curriculum for a second-semester calculus (Calculus II) module and is a direct prerequisite for the study of differential equations, complex analysis, and advanced physics.

[OAU, Ife] MTH 201: Mathematical Methods IThis learning track delivers the complete mathematical toolkit required for a university-level science, engineering, or computing degree. It systematically covers the entire MTH 201 curriculum, building from the foundational principles of single-variable calculus - functions, limits, continuity, and differentiability - to the advanced methods of multivariable calculus, infinite series, numerical methods, and ordinary differential equations. This is the definitive preparation for advanced quantitative study.
This programme is designed for second-year students offering MTH 201 at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. It is also helpful for any student in a STEM field - including physics, engineering, and computer science - who requires a rigorous and comprehensive command of calculus and its applications.
This track delivers a full skill set in mathematical analysis and applied problem-solving. Graduates will be able to solve a wide range of problems, from optimising multivariable functions to modelling dynamic systems with differential equations and testing the convergence of infinite series. This programme directly prepares students for success in advanced courses in vector calculus, partial differential equations, and real analysis, providing the necessary foundation for a career in engineering, data science, or theoretical physics.
