Mathematical Analysis I

Recommended Prerequisites

Mathematics A from the Portuguese High School Curriculum.      

Teaching Methods

The classes are of theoretical-practical type. During a theoretical class part, teaching will be mostly expository. During an example class part,

teaching will consist of problem solving by the students under the guidance of the lecturer. A strong interaction between notions and their practical application is emphasized. In this task, the visualization and the analysis of concrete examples takes on a central role and prepares the way for the abstract definitions. Tutorial support will be available to students to help them on the tasks assigned by the lecturers. 

Learning Outcomes

The student that successfully completes this course will be able to:

i) compute the limit of a function beyond the scope of those studied in High School;

ii) derivate and integrate elementary functions;

iii) use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to compute areas of plane figures, volumes of solids and lengths of curves;

iv) solve a differential equation with separable variables;

v)  solve a linear differential equation of order one.
