Learning outcomes This Course Unit is intended for students to acquire and apply basic knowledge of Differential and Integral Calculus of real functions of real variable.

At the end of this course students should be able to:
- solve inequalities involving rational expressions and absolute values;
- determine domains and sketch the graph of functions;
- compute limits of functions;
- study the continuity of functions;
- compute derivatives of functions;
- know how to approximate functions by Taylor's polynomials;
- apply the derivatives to compute maximums and minimums and sketch the graph of functions;
- integrate functions;
- apply integrals to compute plane areas, to compute length of curves and to compute areas of surfaces and volumes of solids generated by revolution.
