The student should know: the basic concepts of parametrized curves in the plane and the space; the fundamental results concerning the analysis of multivariate functions and understand the concepts of partial derivative, gradient vector, local maxima and minima, tangent plane to the graph of functions of two variables; the student should also know the methods of multiple integration and use them to determine areas, volumes, etc, of bounded plane or space regions, using change of variables if necessary.

Lectures and classes: The contents of the syllabus are presented in the lectures, where examples are given to illustrate the concepts. There are also practical lessons, where exercises and related problems are solved. All resources are available for students at the unit’s web page.

Final exam, for the first and second exam and for students that are not trying to improve their final grade, where one groups of questions (out of 2) can be replacedby the score obtained in one test, worth 10/20, about the first half of the syllabus.
In no other case will the student be allowed to replace part of the exam by a test.
Any special exam can be either an oral or a written exam. No part of these exams can be replaced by the score obtained in a test.
Grades above 17 will only be awarded after making an extra test.
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.
Exam. For these students it will not be allowed to replace any part of the exam by any test.
Any student can be asked to do an oral examination in case there are some dougts about the written examination.
