Objectives
- Introduce the fundamental concepts and results of numerical series and of sequences and series of real functions with a real variable.
- Introduce the fundamental concepts and results of vector analysis.
Learning outcomes and competences
Upon completing this course unit, the student should know:
- the basic results and techniques on series of real numbers and sequences and series of real functions of a real variable, namely power series;
- the fundamental results of differential analysis of vector functions of vector variable, namely the notions of continuity, derivative at a point, partial derivatives, directional, gradient and tangent space to the graph, as well as the basic results and techniques related to the determination of extremes of scalar functions, in a open domain or conditioned;
- the concepts, basic results and calculation methods concerning multiple integrals.

Teaching methods and learning activities
Contact hours are divided into theoretical and theoretical-practical classes. In the first, the contents of the program are presented, using examples to illustrate the treated concepts and guide the students. In theoretical-practical classes, previously indicated exercises and problems are solved. Support materials are available on the course page. In addition to classes, there are weekly service periods where students have the opportunity to clarify doubts.

Calculation formula of final grade
Normal period of exams
The evaluation will be carried out through three tests, corresponding to each of the chapters of the program, the first two being carried out during the semester and the third during the normal exam period, with the following distribution of marks:
1st test - Series - 6 values - duration: 1h
2nd test - Differential Calculus of vector functions of vector variable - 9 values - duration: 1.5h
3rd test - Multiple integrals - 5 values - duration: 1h
For approval in the normal season, it is mandatory to carry out the three tests. The final classification is obtained by adding the classifications obtained in the tests.
Appeal and special periods of exams
There will be a final exam, lasting 3 hours, divided into three parts corresponding to the three tests.
Students may choose to solve each of the parts independently in this exam, either for the purposes of approval or for the purpose of improving the classification.
The final grade is obtained by the sum of the three best grades obtained between each of the tests and the corresponding part of the appeal exam: max {grade 1st test, grade 1st part exam} + max {grade 2nd test, grade 2nd part exam} + max {3rd test grade, 3rd part exam grade}.
Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)
The exams required under special statutes will consist of a written test that may be preceded by an eliminatory oral test, to assess whether the student is in the minimum conditions to try to pass the subject in the written test.
