Learning outcomes |
1. To introduce the students in the main tools of differential and integral calculus.
2. To introduce the students in the main techniques for the integration of basic functions.
3.To implement the tools of differential and integral Calculus in the resolution of problems within Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
At the end of the semester, the students should:
- know the basic definitions and main properties of functions
- know relevant families of functions
- know how to compute limits of functions of one variable
- know how to study the continuity of functions of one variable
- know how to compute the derivatives of functions of one variable
- know how to apply the derivatives to compute maximums and minimums and to sketch graphs of functions
- know how to compute antiderivatives of functions of one variable
- know how to integrate functions of one variable
- know how to apply the integral calculus to compute areas, to compute the volume of solids of revolution.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The curricular unit runs in theoretical-practical type of lessons. In the first part of the lesson, the professor
exposes the most relevant results and techniques, usually illustrated by examples. The second part of the
lesson is devoted to problem solving by the students. The students are proposed to solve a list of problems
from the adopted book.
Assessment criteria:
Three written tests will take place:
Test 1 (T1) - 14/11/2023 (evaluated for 10 points)
Test 2 (T2) - 03/01/2024 (evaluated for 10 points)
Test Global (TG) - 03/01/2024 (evaluated for 20 points)
