Base Knowledge
Secondary education mathematics – Scientific branch
Teaching Methodologies
Expository classes to present the formal bases of the curricular unit, with presentation of examples and
applications, as well as the theoretical-practical classes, with resolution of exercises and monitoring of
students. A moodle platform is used where the class transparencies are made available lectures, the workbook and the
support sheets for each TP class; on this platform will be launched challenges throughout the semester in
order to motivate students. Some software will also be used (Wolfram Alpha and Matlab) for a complementary treatment of subjects studied.
Learning Results
Knowledge of the basics of mathematical analysis and comprehension and appliance of integral calculus on
IR. Understanding the fundamental concepts of matrices. Solve and interpret real problems. The student is
expected to be able to: Explain the concepts, discuss and present each problem solution in an appropriate
way; Solve practical problems with an increasing autonomy; Find and select relevant information from
different sources such as textbooks and the web.
Program
1. Real Functions on IR – Hyperbolic functions; Inverse trigonometric functions. 2. Antiderivatives –
Techniques of calculus by decomposition, parts and substitution, and of trigonometric and rational functions.
3. Integral Calculus on IR – Definite integral (Riemanns integral); Fundamental theorem of calculus;
Applications of integrals to the calculus of areas, volumes and length; Indefinite and improper integrals. 4.
Linear Algebra – Matrices, Linear Equations Systems and Determinants.
