Applied mathematics II

Base Knowledge

Mathematics: differential and integral calculus.

Teaching Methodologies

Expository method will be used to explain theoretical subjects and to analyse and solved problems. Theoretical subjects and application examples will be presented.

Each chapter will begins with motivation examples and will ends with the analysis of application examples. Exercises will be discussed, solved and analysed. Emphasis will be placed on the critical analysis of the selection criteria for mathematical techniques and consequent results.

Free mathematics software will be presented and analysed.

In Moodle, will be available all the necessary documents for this course unit: textbook, exercise book, forms, math tables.
