Objectives
This course aims to: 1) Consolidate
students’ knowledge and basic techniques of real analysis to solve practical problems; 2) Develop students’ skills to handle concepts; 3) Develop student’s independent and analytical reasoning; 4) Develop students’ skills to apply mathematical concepts to the resolution of practical problems; 5) Develop students’ skills to present their reasoning and solutions in a clear and accurate way; Students should be capable of identifying techniques of differential calculation, and should also be capable of correctly applying those techniques. CDIO Syllabus: 1.1, 1.2, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 3.2

Teaching methods and learning activities
All the classes of this course are theoretical-practical classes. On them it is made the motivation and presentation of the course subjects.
Presentation of theoretical concepts, giving special emphasis to geometric interpretations and to their
practical application. The demonstration of theoretical concepts is always made, as long as it helps the understanding. After the presentation of a theoretical concept, the students will do some
exercises related to that. Throughout classes, we look for the participation of the students, not only to do exercises, but also to introduce new concepts.

Eligibility for exams
To obtain "frequency" in the course the student can not exceed the absence limit of practical classes (25% of the planned classes).
Dismissed from "frequency":
1) students with an official particular status (TE, ...)
2) students with a previous course registration.
Calculation formula of final grade
To have "frequency" in the course or be dismissed from such frequency is mandatory.
The final classification will be obtained out of
T1+T2+T3
or
"Exame de recurso"
Grades:
T1: from 0 to 4
T2: from 0 to 9
T3: from 0 to 7
Exame de recurso: from 0 to 20.
A missing test corresponds to a 0 grade.
