Objectives
1- BACKGROUND
Almost every aspect of professional work in the world involves mathematics. A solid knowledge of mathematical analysis is required for any engineering degree namely mechanics and industrial management.
2- SPECIFIC AIMS
Development of the reasoning capacity of the students and understanding essential mathematical concepts. Students should get solid theoretical and practical formation on the main concepts and results of sequences, differential and integral calculus real functions of one real variable.
3- PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE
High school math. Functions and graphs. The limit concept, the concept of continuity at a point and the derivative of a function. Differentiation rules.

Eligibility for exams
To attain frequency, the student must:
1) Not exceed the absence limit allowed in Article 4 of General Evaluation Rules of FEUP; and
2) To attend at least one of the two tests with minimal grade of 6 out of 20.
Calculation formula of final grade
Final Mark (FM) is based on the provisional final mark (FM*) according to the following rules:
A. Provisional Final Mark (FM*)
FM* is based on two written tests during continuous assessment. They will last 2 hours.
At the end of the semester, it will take place a re-assessment test which will last 3 hours. This test will be divided into two parts, in which each of them will correspond to the previous tests. Students can do one part or the whole test.
Important: Students can only attend to the re-assessment test, if they do not miss more classes than allowed by the rules, or if they do at least one of the assignments and achieve a minimum mark of 6 out of 20.
FM* depends on students’ achievements during the semester:
A1. Students who attended to the two tests:
FM* will be based on the average mark of the two tests
A2. Students who attended the re-assessment test:
If the mark achieved in each of the parts of this test is higher than tests, it will be considered the mark of the re-assessment test.
FM* will be based on the average mark of the best classifications.
B. Final Mark (FM)
B1. Students’ FM will be the same as FM*, if they achieve an 17 out of 20 or a lower mark.
B2. Students who achieve a higher mark than 17 out of 20 have to attend to an oral exam. If they do not attend to the oral exam, they will earn an 17.
