Learning outcomes |
The curriculum unit Mathematics I aims:
>> Specific Objectives:
1. consolidate the most important concepts related to the study of real functions of one variable, namely: limits, continuity and differentiability;
2. introduce the notion of integral and some techniques of integration of real functions of one variable;
3. extend the concepts mentioned in 1. to functions of several variables.
>> General objectives:
4. develop the ability to interpret a problem, model it and solve it with the appropriate mathematical knowledge and techniques;
5. develop the capacity of abstract and logical reasoning, and linguistic rigor.
