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.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria	Classes are both theoretical and practical. The teacher introduces key concepts and results, illustrating the theory with examples and applications. Students are encouraged to participate actively, engaging with the teacher and peers, reflecting on the topics, formulating and solving problems, and completing exercises. Independent work is also promoted. Assessment Criteria: 1. The assessment may take place during the course or in a final examination. 2. Knowledge evaluation during the course will be conducted periodically through two written tests, each lasting two hours and worth ten (10) points. These tests will be held on 4th November 2024 and 7th January 2025. 3. Students who achieve a score of 9.5 or higher in the course assessments will be exempt from the final examination. 4. Any attempt at academic dishonesty will result in failure of the Calculus I course.
