Objectives

In this course we have the aim of develop several cognitive levels on the students related with the program of Mathematic II.
It’s fundamental achieve the levels:
1- Memorization (recording mathematical calculation methods);
2- Comprehension (to get conclusions not directly obtained by memorization);
3- Application (the capacity of using mathematical tools on practical subjects).
The student assessment is centred on these last three levels.
However the students will be stimulated to develop:
4- Analysis (capability of split up the whole in parts);
5- Synthesis (capability of assemble the parts in the whole);
6- Valuation (capability of criticizes mathematical methods and results).

Program

1- Integration of Real Functions;
2- Introduction to Ordinary Differential Equations;
3- Topics on Linear Algebra.
