Calculus I

Base Knowledge

High school mathematics knowledge.

Teaching Methodologies

The curricular unit is essentially formative and seeks to articulate fundamental theoretical knowledge with the necessary developments for the curricular units of the study plan. Intuitive understanding of concepts and the ability to calculate are encouraged. In the theoretical-practical classes, the expository and interrogative method is used in the exposition of theoretical subjects and the exercises are solved in groups and individually. In interpreting the concepts and solving the exercises, the GeoGebra software and the WolframAlpha software are used.

Learning Results

Differential and integral calculus of real functions of a real variable and its applications. Introduction to differential and integral calculus with real functions of two real variables.

Topics are presented and discussed by solving exercises and using the following software: GeoGebra and WolframAlpha. Autonomous learning and rigor in the interpretation, use and description of mathematical concepts.

Program
