Chapter 2
Real–Valued Functions
Carlos Polanco
Abstract
This chapter focuses on the characterisation of a real-valued function, its graphs, and level surfaces; its limits, continuity, and differentiation. The operators here reviewed are gradient, directional derivatives, and the polynomial approximation to a function named Taylor´s theorem. All of them will be extensively used in the following chapters.
