Objectives
This course unit aims to act as a complement to other course units related to mathematics. It aims to train students on the application of mathematical tools and problem solving related to the themes of this Integrated Masters.
At the end of the semester, students should be capable of:
- solving differential equations
- calculating line and surface integrals
- representing Fourier series functions
Program
Scalar field functions. Limits and continuity. Partial derivatives. The chain rule. Gradient and directional derivatives. Level sets and applications to geometry of surfaces, tangent planes.
Vector field functions. Line integrals. Properties. Green's theorem. Surface integrals. Divergence and curl of vector function. Stokes' theorem. Gauss' theorem. Applications.
Differential equations. Study of second order linear equations with constant coefficients. Applications.
Laplace transform. Laplace transform of some important functions. Shift theorems. Laplace transform of Dirac function. Convolution theorem. Applications.
Fourier series. Euler formulas. Applications to the odd and even functions. Expansions. Trigonometric polynomial. Minimum square error. Applications.

Teaching methods and learning activities
Theoretical classes will be based on the presentation of the themes of the course unit. These classes are aimed to motivate students, where examples of application will be showed.
Theoretical-practical classes will be based on the analysis and on problem solving by students, where they have to apply tools and mathematical concepts taught in theoretical classes. These classes are aimed to assess students’ understanding and dexterity of the themes of the course unit.

Eligibility for exams
Students cannot miss more classes than allowed in the regulation.
Exception for working students.
Calculation formula of final grade
50% first test+ 50% second test. A final exam for those who miss the tests or do not reach 10. In the third evaluation students can do a global exam or improve first test or improve second test. The maximun grade of 20 is only possible with oral proof.
Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)
Final exam
Classification improvement
As FEUP regulation for a period of one year. In the third evaluation, students who already reached grade 10 or more in the 2 tests may improve classification. They can do ONE of the three tests: improve first part, improve second part or a global test.
