Program

1. Parametrized curves in R^n:
Velocity, acceleration, curvature and torsion.

2. 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. Maxima and minima of real-valued multivariate functions. Second derivative test to find the local extremes.

Eligibility for exams

Attendance is not required.

Calculation formula of final grade

Assessment in "época normal" will be based on two face-to-face tests, worth 8 and 12 points and on 10 quizzes. 
The first test will take 50 minutes and the last 70 minutes. The first test will be on a day indicated at the begining of classes and the second on the day of "exame da época normal".
The 10 quizzes are together worth 2 points (so 0.2 each) and it will be one per week during 10 weeks on computer using Moodle.

If T1 is the score of the first test, T2 the score of the second, Q the sum of the scores obtained in the 10 quizzes, a student will pass the course if

                     T1+T2+Q ≥ 9.5

and the final mark is 

                           min{ T1+T2+Q , 20 }.

If for for some reason it won't be possible to do face to face writen tests during the semester, the two tests will be done on the day of the exam (also face to face).

Make-up exam:

Students who still need to pass: exam with two parts, each part corresponding to one of the tests:

  • The student may choose to take any parts of the exam or use classifications of corresponding parts obtained in tests.
  • If they choose to do a part of the exam, it will be the classification obtained there for the final grade.
  • the final grade is computed as above. 
Students trying to improve their grade will have to write the whole exam (face to face)  and they will not be allowed to use testes or quizzes.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Written or oral exam.

Classification improvement

Exam. These students will not be allowed to take part of
the continuous assessment of the course
