Mathematics III Study Notes

Sequences and Series

Bounded Sequences: A sequence {uₙ} is bounded above if there exists a real number U such that uₙ ≤ U for all n ∈ N. Similarly, it is bounded below if there exists a real number L such that uₙ ≥ L for all n ∈ N. A sequence is bounded if it is bounded above and below.
Convergence: A sequence {uₙ} converges if lim uₙ is a finite quantity. A sequence diverges if lim uₙ = ±∞. An oscillatory sequence is neither convergent nor divergent.
Alternating Series: A series where the terms are alternately positive and negative is called an alternating series. The Leibniz test provides a condition for convergence of alternating series:
- The terms must be monotonically decreasing.
- The terms must approach 0 as n approaches infinity.
- If those conditions are met, then the alternating series converges.
Absolute Convergence: An infinite series of real constants is absolutely convergent if the series of the absolute values of the terms converges. Absolutely convergent series are always convergent.
Ratio Test: A test for convergence of a series of positive terms: If lim (|uₙ₊₁|/|uₙ|) < 1, the series converges. If lim (|uₙ₊₁|/|uₙ|) > 1, the series diverges. If lim (|uₙ₊₁|/|uₙ|) = 1, the test is inconclusive.
Root Test: A test for convergence of a series of positive terms: If lim (|uₙ|)¹/ⁿ < 1, the series converges. If lim (|uₙ|)¹/ⁿ > 1, the series diverges. If lim (|uₙ|)¹/ⁿ = 1, the test is inconclusive.

Multivariable Calculus (Differentiation)

Maxima/Minima:
- Necessary Conditions: For a function of two variables f(x,y) to have a maximum or minimum at a point (a, b), both of its partial derivatives must be zero at that point, i.e., fₓ(a, b) = 0 and fᵧ(a, b) = 0.
- Sufficient Conditions (Second Derivative Test): To determine if a stationary point (a, b) is a maximum, minimum, or saddle point, calculate the second partial derivatives fₓₓ(a, b), fᵧᵧ(a, b), and fₓᵧ(a, b). Then determine the value of A = fₓₓ(a, b), B = fₓᵧ(a, b), and C = fᵧᵧ(a, b). Use the discriminant D = AC - B²:
 - If D > 0 and A > 0, then f(a, b) is a minimum.
 - If D > 0 and A < 0, then f(a, b) is a maximum.
 - If D < 0, then (a, b) is a saddle point.
 - If D = 0, then the test is inconclusive.
Limit of a Function The limit (as (x,y)→(a,b)) of a function f(x,y) exist only if the limit is same regardless of the approach to (a,b). Note that for the limit of a function of multiple variables to exists at a point, the limit must be same for all approaches (i.e., simultaneously).

Multivariable Calculus (Integration)

Improper Integrals: Integrals over infinite intervals or where the integrand is not continuous.
Volumes of Revolution: Methods for calculating the volume of a solid generated by revolving a region around an axis.

Graph Theory

Graph Representations: Graphs can be represented using adjacency matrices and incidence matrices.
Isomorphic Graphs: Two graphs are isomorphic if their vertices can be reordered to have the same adjacency matrix.
Components: A maximal connected subgraph in a graph is called a component.
Shortest Paths: Dijkstra's algorithm can be used to find the shortest path between two vertices in a weighted graph.
Spanning Trees: A spanning tree is a subgraph that connects all the vertices of a graph using the minimum possible number of edges. Prim's or Kruskal's algorithm can be employed to find a minimal spanning tree.
Eulerian Graphs: A connected graph containing a closed trail that visits each edge precisely once (known as an Euler circuit) has all vertices of even degree.
Binary Trees: The number of vertices in a binary tree is always odd.
