Base Knowledge
Integration and differential calculus. Multiple variable linear equation solving.
Teaching Methodologies
In theoretical classes an exposition of each subject is given. This is complemented by the resolution of application exercises.
In the laboratory classes experimental works are realized, in groups, that aim the experimental validation of the acquired knowledge and a written report is mandatory for each work. The preparation of the work involves the use of electronic circuit simulation software. Exercise solving will also be performed.
