Calculus II

Base Knowledge

Differential and integral calculus of real functions of a real variable.

Teaching Methodologies

In classes, the theoretical exposition of the program of the curricular unit and the resolution of some application exercises are made. The theoretical classes have a more expository nature, while the theoretical-practical and practical classes have a more practical nature in which the main objective is the discussion and resolution of exercises by the students, with the support of the teacher.

Learning Results

Understand and apply the knowledge of differential and integral calculus in IRn, unilateral Laplace transforms, as well as numerical series and power series. Solve and interpret problems presented in the real context.

At the end of this unit the student is expected to know: explain the concepts, discuss and present each problem-solving appropriately; solve exercises with increasing autonomy using the matters dealt with in class and related topics; find and select relevant information from different sources, such as monographs and internet.
