Objectives
Understanding and ability to use the basic concepts and results related to the subjects of the syllabus.Learning outcomes and competences
A student is expected to know the concepts and basic results of Linear Algebra and Vector Calculus covered in the course and to develop the ability to use them.
Working method
Presencial
Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)
It is assumed in this course that the student is familiar and is capable of using the basic notions of Linear Algebra and Calculus given in the previous course Matemática I.
Program
1. Linear Algebra: real vector spaces R^n.
2. Parameterized curves in R^n.
3. Vector multivariable functions.
4. Real multivariable functions; local maxima and minima; multivariable integrals.

Eligibility for exams
Students are required to attend TP classes.
Calculation formula of final grade
During the semester there will be two tests whose quotation sums 20. The second test will take place at the first exam season.
Course approval can be obtained
1) through the tests.
2) in the final exam, to be held at the second exam season.
The final exam consists of 2 parts, each corresponding to a test.
In the final exam, students who have not yet obtained approval (and only these) may choose not to solve one part of the exam, that would then get the grade of the corresponding test.
Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)
In any special evaluation season, the written exam might be preceded by an eliminatory oral test to assess whether the student satisfies minimum requirements to tentatively pass the written exam.
Classification improvement
Students wishing to undertake a classification improvement must solve all parts of the exam in the 2nd evaluation season.
Observations
It may be asked to any student to take an extra oral or written examination if any doubt concerning his/her performance occurs on certain assessment pieces.
