The aim of this seminar is to learn some basic techniques in asymptotic analysis. It is one of the most important concepts in analysis and you encounter it already in the first semester when dealing with Taylor series, where a complicated function is replaced by a simple approximated which is valid in a certain regime. In fact, many problems in applications are not explicitly solvable, however, they often can be viewed as small perturbations of solvable models. Here is where asymptotic analysis comes into play and we frequently use it in a naive way without knowing the basic methods, their strengths, weaknesses, and pitfalls. In this seminar we will try to remedy this shortcoming by covering some topics (which can be chosen according to personal interests) from the introductory book by Miller [1].
