Calculus II

Recommended Prerequisites

Calculus I.

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 calculus of functions of several variables and with the fundamental concepts in the study of sequences and series. It is intended that the students acquire computational skills. 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.
