Objectives

OBJECTIVES:
To acquire theoretical and practical knowledge on the differential and integral calculus of scalar functions and vector functions of one or several variables and on some of their applications in engineering. To acquire an elementary knowledge in the resolution of differential equations. To develop competences in the areas of formulation, identification and modelling of engineering problems. To develop creative and critical thinking and for solving engineering problems.

Learning outcomes and competences

LEARNING OUTCOMES: After this course, the students are able to:

Obtain partial and directional derivatives for scalar fields and know how to construct the gradient vector. Calculate partial derivatives of functions of several variables (either composite or implicit); Locate extreme values of functions. Calculate the divergence and the rotational of a vector field.

Calculate double and triple integrals (in rectangular, cylindrical and spherical coordinates) and understand its practical applications (calculation of area, volume, and centroid); Represent curves and surfaces in the 3D space; Understand Vector Analysis, calculate line and surface integrals and understand its practical applications (calculation of work done by a force and the flux of a vector field).

To solve first order ordinary differential equations and linear equations of second order. To formulate and implement simple mathematical models describing physical-chemical phenomena.

Teaching methods and learning activities

Exposition of theoretical concepts and resolution of practical examples during classes. Interaction with students will be emphasized. Small evaluation tests will take place along the semester, in order to stimulate and monitor the process of acquisition of knowledge and skills by the students along that time period. This curricular unit is inserted in the Moodle platform, in order to enhance the discussion among all participants. In this platform, all students have access to every issue provided by the teachers and may strengthen their concepts by solving self-evaluation activities. Students will be encouraged to use software (Maxima).

Eligibility for exams

Students cannot exceed the absence limit according to the General Evaluation Rules in force.

Calculation formula of final grade

Final mark (CF) is calculated according to:

CF = maxima {EX; AD}

 where,

EX – Exam Mark

AD = (10% x AD1 + 10% x AD2+10% x MDL) + 70% x EX

 

AD1- mark of the first mini test;

AD2 - mark of the second mini test;

MDL-classification obtained in 4 Moodle activities evaluated in the following scale:

• 100% (20 values) if the 4 activities with a positive note were completed within the established deadline.
• 75% (15 values) if only 3 of the activities were carried out in the established period with a positive note.
• 50% (10 values) if only 2 of the activities were carried out in the established period with a positive note.
• 25% (5 values) if only one of the activities were carried out in the established period with a positive note.
• 0% in all other cases.

All marks are quoted on a  0 to 20 scale.
