Learning outcomes This course constitutes an introduction to differential and integral calculus in IR. In the end on this curricular unit the student must be able to:
- graphically represent and identify properties of a real function of a real variable
- compute limits of functions of one variable
- investigate the continuity of functions of one variable
- compute the derivatives of functions of one variable
- apply the derivatives to compute maximums and minimums and to sketch graphs of functions
- compute antiderivatives of functions of one variable
- integrate functions of one variable
- apply the integral calculus to compute areas, to compute the length of curves and to compute the surface area and the volume of a solid of revolution

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria In 2 of the 4 week curricular unit hours, there is a theoretical approach to the program subjects. In the other 2 week hours, students are encouraged to solve the assigned exercises. The learning evaluation is strongly based upon the realization of 2 written tests, as detailed. The valuation of attendance is included in the written tests since a quality presence in the classes necessarily means continuous work and dedication to the proposed exercises. The Minimum Grade for Admission to the Exam is established as the 6 values in the Teaching-Learning classification.
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
