Objectives
To introduce the concepts and basic results of Vector Analysis.
Learning outcomes and competences
Upon successful course completion, the student should know: the meaning of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of an endomorphism of a vector space; to identify the graphs of quadratic equations in two and three real variables; 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 being able to determine extreme values of constrained functions. 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.
Working method
Presencial
Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)
Students are expected to have previously acquired basic knowledge of Linear Algebra (matrices, vector spaces) and Calculus of functions of one real variable.
Program
1. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors of an endomorphism of a vector space. Euclidean spaces. DIagonalization of symmetric matrices. Conic sections and quadratic surfaces in the space. Diagonalization of quadratic forms.
2. Differential calculus of vector-valued multivariate functions. Graphs, contour lines and level surfaces. Open and closed subsets, accumulation and isolated points. Limits and continuity. Directional and partial derivatives. Gradient vector of a real valued multivariate function. Derivability. Tangent plane to the graph of a function of two variables. Normal line and tangent hiperplane at a point on the level surface of a function. Jacobian matrix. Derivation of composition of functions. Inverse and implicit function theorems. Maxima and minima of real-valued multivariate functions.
3. Multiple integrals. Definition of integral of a multivariate real-valued function over a bounded region. Fubini's theorem. Computation of integrals via iterated integrals. Change of coordinates. Double integrals in polar coordinates, triple integrals in cylindrical and spherical coordinates.
4. Applications to Physics.

Eligibility for exams
Unconditional.
Calculation formula of final grade
60% for the midterm tests, 40% for the final exam.
Classification improvement
During the semester, the rules are those indicated in the formula of computation of the final grade. After that, the general relevant rules apply.
Observations
Stude ts with a grade of at least 18 may be asked to take an additional exam to confirm their grade. Students with a grade of 8 or 9 may also be invited to take an additional exam as an opportunity to the grade of 10.
