Learning outcomes 1. Acquire knowledge of and proficiency in the techniques of differential and integral calculus of real functions of several real variables — essential tools in the exact and applied sciences.
2. Improve graphic perception and three-dimensional visualisation by refining geometric skills.
3. Master the concepts, methods of resolution and fundamental results of ordinary differential equations, as well as their applications in mathematical modelling.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria 1. Assessment can take place during the teaching-learning period (continuous assessment) or in a final exam. All students are admitted to exam.
2. Continuous assessment requires 70 per cent class attendance, except for working students and finalists.
3. Attendance will be recorded from 26 February 2024.
4. The assessment of knowledge throughout the teaching-learning period will be periodic and will consist of two written tests, each lasting 2 hours and worth 10 marks, to be held on 22 April 2024 and 7 June 2024.
5. Students with a minimum of 3 marks in each written test and a sum of the marks in the two tests equal to or greater than 9.5 in the continuous assessment will be exempt from the final exam.
6. The use of calculators in assessment tests is not permitted.
7. Any attempt to cheat during an assessment test will fail the course unit Calculus II.
Language Portuguese. Tutorial support is available in English.
