Teaching Methods
The theoretical lectures are predominantly expository. In practical classes the students will solve exercises under the guidance of the instructor. In the theoretical classes it will prevail a strong interaction between concepts and their practical application, giving, as much as possible, a central role to visualization and analysis of particular situations before making a progressive approach to more abstract notions. The transformation of concepts into working tools will be achieved by encouraging personal work. The formal lectures will be complemented by periods of individual attendance.
Learning Outcomes
To provide students with basic knowledge of differential and integral calculus for real functions as well as the fundamental concepts in the study curves in the plan. It is intended that the students acquire computational skills, and abilities to solve first order differential equations. It is also intended that the students acquire an understanding of the concepts that will enable them to evaluate the scope and limitations of the materials studied and their applications.
