Mathematics: Vector calculus, differential and integral calculus, orthogonal coordinate systems, differential and integral operators.
Physics: Kinematics, particle and rigid body dynamics, work and energy.
Teaching Methodologies
There are no classes of any kind for this course.
Students will be able to clear up their doubts during office hours.
Learning Results
In this Curricular Unit, competences related to the understanding of Nature in the field of Electromagnetism will be acquired, with emphasis on the most technologically important concepts.
The student must assimilate contents presented, identify them in examples and apply them in the resolution of theoretical-practical exercises, justifying the results obtained.

Curricular Unit Teachers
Paulo Jorge Ribeiro da FonteGrading Methods
Assessment by final exam, with a minimum mark of 9.5.
Students who have successfully completed the laboratory component in the previous two academic years may use it. In this case, the laboratory component, P, has a weight of 4.00 and the final exam, E, has a weight of 16.00, with the final grade being given as C=P+E. The student passes if C is greater than or equal to 9.5.
The compulsory or optional final written exams are those set out in the ISEC's regulations.
During the exams, no electronic device may be used, nor may any item be consulted except for an A4 sheet of paper with arbitrary content. The use of a non-graphical calculator is permitted.
