Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria Theoretical-practical classes (TP) of oral exposition of the syllabus of the curricular unit, using audiovisual means, accompanied by the resolution of application-type problems and the discussion of the obtained results, including demonstration videos and, whenever appropriate, some experimental demonstrations. In classes, students perform the proposed application problems, including activities with application of simulations.

The final evaluation of the curricular unit will consist in two components: 1. carrying out two written tests (90%), 2. carrying out problems and activities with simulations (10%).
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
