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
Objectives
- Understand, manipulate and apply the concepts of integration of functions of one variable and series.
- Provide a base set of mathematical fundamental to the proper functioning of other courses of integrated Masters.
- Develop scientific and mathematical reasoning and ability to apply mathematical concepts acquired.
Ability to describe the main results in the field of differential and integral calculus, the series of real numbers and the polynomial approximation of functions of one variable by use of Taylor polynomials.
Ability to identify and properly apply the techniques to use in solving problems.
Obtaining a set of fundamental mathematical tools with direct application in other courses of the integrated MSc.

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

Obtaining frequency for regular students depends on:
Students with frequency from previous years do not need to attend classes. Students who wish to attend must obey the above rules.
Final mark (FM) will be based on one of the following formulas:
or
wherein:
MT = arithmetic average of the three best marks obtained in mini-tests
T1 = mark obtained in Test 1
T2 = mark obtained in Test 2
EF = mark obtained in final exam
Conditions for course approval:
The realization of the mini-tests is mandatory for all students without previous frequency. The other may choose as venue and must communicate its decision to the teacher in the first week of classes. Not performing a mini-test on the date set corresponds to zero mark.
An exam at the corresponding seasons.
Students cannot use calculators on mini-tests, tests and exams.
