Objectives
a) Know and apply basic mathematical procedures used in the degree programme;
b) Interpret data, formulate and solve problems involving derivation and integration of functions of one variable;

Program
1.Real functions.
1.1 Definition, properties and graph of a real function;
1.2 Algebraic functions;
1.3 Exponential function and logarithmic function;
1.4 Trigonometric functions (direct and inverse).
2.Differential calculus in R
2.1 Derivative of a function at a point and derivative function;
2.2 Derivation Rules and derivative function of elementary functions;
2.3 The chain rule for differentiating composite functions
2.4 Applications of the derivative: differentials, monotony and extremes of a function; optimization problems.
3. Integral Calculus in R
3.1 Undefined integral
3.1.1 Primitives and indefinite integral - definition and properties;
3.1.2 Immediate primitives;
3.1.3 Methods of primitivation: primitivation by parts, primitivation of rational functions and primitivation of powers of trigonometric functions;
3.2 Integral definite
3.2.1 Definition and geometric interpretation of the Riemann simple integral;
3.2.2 The fundamental theorem of integral calculus and properties of the definite integral;
3.2.3 Applications of the definite integral: calculation of area of a region between two graphs, volume of a solid of revolution and length of a plane curve.
4.Series
4.1 Infinite series
4.1.1 Definitions and tests for convergence;
4.1.2 Alternating series;
4.2 Series of functions;
4.2.1 Power series and convergence intervals;

Evaluation Methodology
Ongoing assessment: two written tests (0-8) with minimum mark of 2; eight homeworks (0-0.5) with presentation in class of two homeworks.
Exam assessment: a written test (0-20).
Minimum mark to pass the exam is 10. Pass mark for ongoing assessment is the sum of the tests with the homeworks and the presentations and must total 10.
