Objectives

This course aims to endow students with fundamental knowledge on mathematics.
It also aims to complete students’ education on IR defined functions, and develop the problem of primitives and function integration and study its representation

Program

1. Functions, limits and derivates
Revision of concepts studied in Secondary School about functions, limits, continuity and derivation

2. Functions and differential calculus
New functions and their derivation; Inverse functions and their derivation; Linear and differential approximation of a function; Maximum and minimum of a function; Indeterminate forms and L’Hôpital’s rule

3. Primitive for a function
Primitive of an elementary function; Stage primitive; Primitive by substitution or change of variable; primitive of rational functions; rational substitution; Primitive of trigonometric functions; Trigonometric substitutions

4. Integral Calculus
Approximate calculation of areas; Riemann sum; Integral f(x) in (a,b); Basic properties of integrals; Assessment integrals of continuous functions; mean value of f(x) in (a,b); average value theorem; Integration of discontinuous functions; Geometric application of integrals; Deduction of integral formulas; Functions defined by integrals ; Improper integrals


5. Series of real numbers
Series of real numbers; Study of series by its definition; Series of non-negative terms; Series of non-positive terms; alternate series; Series of positive and negative terms

6. Taylor’s and Maclaurian series:
Function approximation by polynomial; Estimate of the rest of a Taylor polynomial; Taylor’s theorem and formula

Teaching methods and learning activities

General theoretical-practical classes are based on the presentation of the themes of the course, where examples are given.
The theoretical-practical classes which are divided in groups, are based on problem solving and application of the themes that have been taught during theoretical-practical classes

Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation with final exam

Eligibility for exams

Students cannot skip more than 3 theoretical-practical classes (Students who were only admitted on the second phase, cannot skip more than 2 classes)
Students who are repeating the course, and who were admitted to exams in the previous year do not need to attend to classes.

Calculation formula of final grade

Final Mark will be based on one of the following formulas:
FM= 0,1*HW + 0,2*MT + 0,35*T1 + 0,35 *T2
Or
FM= 0,1*HW + 0,2*MT+0,7*E

HW- Homework
MT- Mini-tests
T1- Test 1
T2-Test 2
E- Exam

Students who were admitted to exams in the previous years and do not want to take part of distributed assessment, final mark will be calculated as follows:

FM = 0,5*Freq_1 + 0,5*Freq_2 or FM = EF

Examinations or Special Assignments

Not applicable

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

An exam

Classification improvement

Students can improve their grade by attending to an exam at recurso season.
Students cannot improve the grade of the continuous assessment component (homework and mini-tests).

Observations

Students have to deliver homework on a weekly basis, if they do not, they will earn a 0. The grade of homework, will be the average grade of all the assignments.

The grade of mini-tests will be the average grade of all the mini-tests. If students do not attend to one mini-test, they will earn a 0.

Students cannot use calculators on mini-tests and exams.
