Base Knowledge
Basic definitions of real-valued functions of a real variable: polynomial functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions; calculation of derivatives (high school and Mathematical Analysis I program).
Applications of real-valued functions of a real variable (Mathematical Analysis I).
Calculation of determinants (Mathematical Analysis I).
Teaching Methodologies
Classes are taught in a theoretical-practical regime.
The expository methodology is used for the presentation of the concepts of the curricular unit, supported by the realization of exercises to apply the transmitted concepts. Some of these exercises are based on real-life practical problems.
Learning Results
Goals:
Provide knowledge of the wide variety of problems that can be solved using mathematical concepts and results.
Foster logical/deductive reasoning and mental calculation.
Encourage the use of analytical methods in solving concrete problems through the application of acquired knowledge.
Skills:
Use mathematical knowledge of integration of functions, namely in its application in the calculation of areas of plane regions and in the resolution of differential equations.
Apply the study of real functions of two real variables in several problems, of which the optimization of functions stands out.
