Understanding and ability to make use of the concepts and results covered in the syllabus, namely through the resolution of exercises of practical nature.
Ability to make use of the concepts and results covered in the syllabus.
I Parametrized curves.
Velocity, acceleration, curvature, Frenet frame.
II. Differential calculus of vector-valued multivariate functions.
Graphs of real-valued functions of two variables, contour lines of functions of two variables and level surfaces of functions of three variables. Open and closed subsets of R^n. Accumulation point and isolated point. Limits and continuity of functions. Directional derivatives and partial derivatives. Derivative function at a point of a real-valued multivariate function. Gradient vector and derivability. Tangent plane to the graph of a function of two variables. Interpretation of the gradient vector. Normal line and tangent hiperplane at a point on the level surface of a function. Higher order derivatives. Derivative function at a point of a vector-valued multivariate function. Jacobian matrix. Derivation of composition of functions. Examples. Inverse function theorem.
Maxima and minima of real-valued multivariate functions. Second derivative test to find the local extremes. The method of Lagrange multipliers for finding extreme values of constrained functions.
III. Multiple integrals.
Definition of integral of a multivariate real-valued function over a rectangle and a bounded region. Fubini's theorem. Calculation of double and triple integrals via iterated integrals. Integration and the change of coordinates. Applications: double integrals in polar coordinates, and triple integrals in cylindrical and spherical coordinates.
Exposition by the lecturers. Exercise sheets will also be available to students, as well as a list of recommended exercises which will tentatively be covered in the practical sessions. The latter will be available in advance, thus encouraging students to prepare for the class. Other materials will be accessible to students, such as quizzes and exams from previous years, solutions and resolutions.
The teachers involved in the class will have regular office hours to help the students and will be available to discuss the students’ performance in quizzes and in class. This should help the students to assess their progress and to promote a timely intervention in case of poor performance.

Students are required to attend at least 8 practical classes/discussion sections.
Students having met attendence requirements in the previous academic year will be exempt from the above rule.
Special exams will consist of a written test, which might be preceded by an eliminatory oral test to assess whether the student satisfies minimum requirements to tentatively pass the written test.
No part of these exams can be replaced by the score obtained in a test.
