Learning outcomes With this Curricular Unit it is intended that students acquire basic knowledge of Differential and Integral Calculus of real functions of real variable. At the end of this Curricular Unit the student should be able to:
1) Compute limits of real functions of real variable;
2) Study the continuity of real functions of real variable;
3) Compute derivatives of real functions of real variable;
4) Apply the derivatives to the computation of maxima and minima of real functions of real variable;
5) Compute primitives and integrals of real functions of real variable;
6) Use integral calculus to determine areas and volumes of surfaces generated by revolution, as well as length of plain curves.
7) Study number series

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria Classes are theoretical and practical. The teacher presents the concepts and results and illustrates the theory with examples and applications. The student is motivated to participate in class, interacting with the teacher and colleagues, reflecting on the topics, formulating and solving problems and doing exercises. Autonomous work is also encouraged.

Assessment Criteria:
1. The assessment may be made during the period of classes or in a final examination.
2. The evaluation of knowledge throughout the teaching-learning period will be periodic and will consist of two written tests, each lasting two hours and rated at ten (10) points, to be held on 17th November 2023 and 9th January 2024.
3. Students who obtain a mark of 9.5 or higher in the assessment carried out throughout the teaching activities will be exempted from sitting the final examination.
4. Any attempt of fraud will result in failure in the Calculus I course.

Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
