Objectives
The main goal of the Matemática II course is to give the students a basic knowledge of Integral Calculus and Linear Algebra. It is expected that the students understand the main concepts and results studied in the course and are able to apply them to theoretical and pratical problems, namely in the context of Economics. It is also expected that the students develop other skills, in particular a logical and abstract reasoning.
Learning outcomes and competences
It is intended that students obtain basic skills in Integral Calculus and Linear Algebra and are able to apply the acquired knowledge to other situations of their academic and professional life.
Working method
Presencial
Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)
Mathematical knowledge from high school and from the Matemática I course of the first year of their Economics degree.

Eligibility for exams
A student is approved in the course if he obtains a final grade, rounded to units, not less than 10.
Calculation formula of final grade
In the continuous evaluation system, the final grade is obtained by rounding to units the next number:
0.5*n1+0.5*n2
where n1 and n2 are the marks of the first and second tests, respectively, rounded to one decimal place. However, if one of the test scores (t1 or t2) is less than 6 points, the student is not approved in the continuous evaluation system.
In the final examination system, the final grade is the one obtained in the exam (rounded to unit).
Classification improvement
Students cannot improve the rating by continuous evaluation.
Observations
1) The continuous assessment consists of two tests, the first of which to be held during the scholar season.
2) The students evaluated in the first test of continuous evaluation system and with a mark not less than 6 can always choose to perform the second test or take the examination in the regular season.
3) The students evaluated in the two tests cannot be evaluated by exam in the normal season.
4) All students can be evaluated in the appeal season.
5) The exams of the normal time and resource time are structured into two distinct parts:integration and linear algebra. For the student to be approved, it is needed that, in each of the parts, he obtains a grade not less than 20% of the total quotation attributed to that part.
