Course description
Schedule, syllabus and examination date
Choose semester
Course content
Complex numbers, completeness, sequences, continuity, differentiability, L'Hôpital's rule, inverse functions, inverse trigonometric functions, integration, integration techniques,
vectors, matrices, functions of several variables, partial derivatives.
Learning outcome
The course gives a thorough introduction to central beginning topics in real analysis. MAT1100 Calculus serves as a foundation for further studies in mathematics based sciences. The course extends and elaborates central parts of high school mathematics and explains the importance of real analysis through examples and applications.
Admission
Students at UiO must apply for courses in StudentWeb.
International applicants, if you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about admission requirements and procedures for international applicants.
The examination in this course is not available for external candidates. Only students admitted to the course may sit for the examination.
Prerequisites
Formal prerequisite knowledge
In addition to fulfilling the Higher Education Entrance Qualification, applicants have to meet the following special admission requirements:
One of these:
- Mathematics R1
- Mathematics (S1+S2)
And and in addition one of these:
- Mathematics (R1+R2)
- Physics (1+2)
- Chemistry (1+2)
- Biology (1+2)

Overlapping courses
- 8 credits overlap with ECON1120
- 8 credits overlap with ECON2200 - Matematikk 1/Mikro 1 (MM1)
- 8 credits overlap with ECON2200P
- 10 credits overlap with MAT1100U - Calculus
- 10 credits overlap with MAT1001 - Mathematics 1
- 4 credits overlap with MAT1012 - Mathematics 2
- 10 credits overlap with MAT1000 - Mathematics for applications I (discontinued)
- 10 credits overlap with MAT1100V
The overlap between the 3 courses MAT1001 - Mathematics 1, MAT1012 - Mathematics 2, MAT1100 - Calculus is 10 credits in total; you get 20 credits for these 3 courses. The same goes if you replace MAT1001 - Mathematics 1 with MAT1110 - Calculus and linear algebra.
10 credits with MA001, MAT100A/B/C and MA100.

Teaching
4 hours of lectures, 2 hours of exercises and 2 hours problem sessions in plenum per week.
Examination
Two compulsory assignments have to be handed in and approved to be allowed access to the final exam.
Detailed information about compulsory assignments will be published on the course information page at the beginning of the semester.
Midterm exam and final exam at the end of the semester add up to the final grade. Both exams are compulsory and have to be taken in the same semester.
Midterm exam counts for 1/3 and the final exam counts for 2/3. The final grade is based on the total score and a general impression after the final examination.
Rules for compulsory assignments at the Department of Mathematics
Examination support material
Permitted aids at the midterm exam: None.
Permitted aids at final exam: Approved calculator.
Information about approved calculators (Norwegian only)
Language of examination
Students may, on subjects where the language of instruction is Norwegian and the examination form is written exam, ask for the exam paper in Bokmål, Nynorsk or English. Closing date for registering the chosen examination language is September 1st for the fall semester and February 1st for the spring semester. Please view the web page of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences on how to proceed Subjects taught in English will offer the exam paper in English only. This rule also applies for subjects where the exam form is dependent on the number of students and written exam is chosen by the teaching staff.
Grading scale
Grades are awarded on a scale from A to F, where A is the best grade and F is a fail. Read more about the grading system.
Explanations and appeals
Resit an examination
Re-scheduled exams are offered at the beginning of the next semester for students who:
- can document a valid reason for absence from the regular exam (e.g. illness before or during the exam)
- withdraw during the exam
- do not successfully complete the exam during the previous semester.
Read more about re-scheduled exams.
Withdrawal from an examination
If you wish to withdraw from the exam you must do so in StudentWeb at least two weeks prior to the deadline. Failure to do so will be counted as one of the three opportunities to sit the exam.
Special examination arrangements
If you have a disability or a health problem that entails significant inconvenience in an examination situation, you may be considered for special examination arrangements. Mothers who are breastfeeding may apply for extra time to complete the exam.
Evaluation
Feedback from our students is essential to us in our efforts to ensure and further improve the high quality of our programmes and courses. All courses are subject to continuous evaluation. At regular intervals we also ask students on a particular course to participate in a more comprehensive, periodic evaluation of this course.
