PROOF OF TAYLOR’S THEOREM

ection on the proof(s) of Taylor’s theorem. First we recall the (derivative form) of the theorem: Theorem 1 (Taylor’s theorem). Suppose f: (a;b) !R is a function on (a;b), where a;b 2R with a < b. Assume that for some positive integer n, f is n-times di erentiable on the open interval

Chapter 3 The Space of Continuous Functions

Baire category theorem is proved and, as an application, it is shown that continuous, nowhere di erentiable functions form a set of second category in the space of continuous functions. 3.1 Spaces of Continuous Functions We studied continuous functions on an interval in MATH2050/60 and in a domain bounded

Chapter 3 The Contraction Mapping Principle

3.2. THE CONTRACTION MAPPING PRINCIPLE 3 This theorem will be further explained and proved in the appendix. 3.2 The Contraction Mapping Principle Solving an equation f(x) = 0;where f is a function from Rn to itself frequently comes up in application. This problem can be turned into a problem for xed points. Literally,

proven. They are reformulated in the context of in nite series of functions in Section 3. The last two important sections demonstrate the power of uniform convergence. In Sections 4 and 5 we introduce the exponential function, sine and cosine functions based on di erential equations. Although various de nitions of

1 Derivatives of Piecewise Defined Functions

1 Derivatives of Piecewise Defined Functions For piecewise defined functions, we often have to be very careful in com-puting the derivatives. The di↵erentiation rules (product, quotient, chain rules) can only be applied if the function is defined by ONE formula in a neighborhood of the point where we evaluate the derivative. If we want

MATH2060A Solution to Assignment 1

examine the di erentiability of j at 0 using de niton. Indeed, using the fact the cosine function is even, lim h!0 cosjhj cos0 h 0 = lim h!0 cosh 1 h = 0; from which we conclude that jis also di erentiable at x= 0. Hence jis di erentiable everywhere. A shortcut is to realize that the cosine is an even function, so j(x) = cosxis dif-ferentiable ...

Chapter 4 Inverse Function Theorem

Indeed, in MATH2060 we learned that if f is continuously di erentiable on (a;b) with non-vanishing f0, it is either strictly increasing or decreasing so that its global inverse exists and is again continuously di erentiable. Example 4.3. Consider the map F: R2!R2 given by F(x;y) = (x2;y). Its Jacobian matrix is singular at (0;0).
