Objectives

SPECIFIC AIMS
To introduce fundamental concepts in view of the analyse of functions of several variables. To develop the ability to analyse problems and results and acquire mathematical precision. To induce an educational background for other subjects in the curricula.

Development of the reasoning capacity of the students and knowledge of essential mathematical concepts. Students should get solid theoretical and practical formation on the main concepts and results of differential and integral calculus of several variables, including the basic theorems of calculus.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE
EC0001: Functions and graphs. Knowledge of differential and integral calculus of one real variable.
EC0002: Knowledge of Matrix Algebra.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
Knowledge and Understanding: Partial and directional derivatives for real-valued and vector-valued functions; gradient vector and jacobian matrix. The chain rule for real-valued and vector-valued functions including implicit functions. Maxima and minima of unconstrained functions of two and three variables and for constrained functions as well as using Lagrange multipliers method applied to functions with one or two constraints. Evaluation of double integrals over general regions in R2 using rectangular and polar coordinates. Parametric curves in Rn and normal and tangent vectors; to calculate line integrals on that curves. Calculation of triple integrals over regions on R3 using rectangular, cylindrical and spherical coordinates. Establishment of the relationship between the line integral and the double integral based on the Green’s theorem. Application of Stokes and Gauss Theorem.

Teaching methods and learning activities

It is essentially a formative subject, coordinating fundamental theoretical knowledge with some approaches which are necessary in the subjects placed ahead in the course. At this level it is important to develop intuitive concepts as well as computer skills. The concepts are exposed in a clear and objective way, making frequent use of examples of physical or geometrical nature. The use of the software Maple will be asked, as a working tool, namely through the execution of a practical project.
