CALCULUS – 1
DMITRY IVANKOV
We offer innovative university degrees taught in English by industry leaders from around the world, aimed at giving our students meaningful and creatively satisfying top-level professional futures. We think the future is bright if you make it so.
The presented module “Calculus-1” includes a hands-on course on derivatives and integrals. The strong emphasis is made on the solving tasks: finding derivatives, integrals, and limits.
The covered topics have a huge area of applications and show the power of mathematics. Derivatives are indispensable in optimisation methods. Integrals are necessary to calculate area under the plot of a function, average values, and volume of three-dimensional symmetrical figures.
All the topics represent the straight course, so for understanding the next topic is important to understand previous ones.
The aims of the module are: (i) to calculate derivatives and most of integrals easily and automatically, (ii) to get understanding/feeling/intuition as to what types of tasks need derivatives and integrals, and (iii) to approach solving the real-life examples using derivatives and integrals.
After graduating from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 1999, Dmitry worked for ten years on the protein folding problem at the Institute of Protein Research, Pushchino. He defended his PhD thesis in 2006 entitled “Theory of protein folding rates”. From 2010 to 2013 he worked in Technical University of Munich, on the signal peptides coming from mass-spectrometry based proteomics. Starting from 2014, Dmitry works in the Evolutionary Genomics lab, starting in CRG, and now in the IST Austria.
