Objectives
a)Develop the ability to analyze and interpret mathematical results, establishing relationships between theoretical concepts and practical applications.
b)Interpret data, model and solve complex problems, using learned techniques and logical reasoning.
c)Generalize geometric concepts of plane and space to spaces of arbitrary dimensions.
d)Apply knowledge of derivatives and integrals in the analysis and resolution of problems related to the behavior of phenomena, known rates of variation and restrictions.
e)Understand and apply the concepts of differential and integral calculus in a multivariable context.
Program
1. Differential Calculation in Rn
1.1. Definition, limit and continuity of a real function of several real variables;
1.2. Contour lines and geometric representation of a function of two variables;

1.4. Derivative of the composite function and the implicit function;
1.5. increments and differentials;
1.6. Homogeneous functions;
1.7. Tangent plane and normal line to a surface;
1.8. Local and conditioned extremes.
2. Integral Calculus in R^n
2.1. Definition and properties of double integrals;
2.2. Calculation of double integrals in rectangular coordinates and polar coordinates;
2.3. Applications of the double integral;
2.4. Definition and properties of triple integrals;
2.5. Calculations of triple integrals in rectangular coordinates and cylindrical coordinates;
2.6. Applications of the triple integral.
3. Ordinary Differential Equations
3.1. Some mathematical models, definitions and terminology;
3.2. Direction field and Euler's method
3.3. First order differential equations - equation of separable variables, linear equation and Bernoulli equation.
4. Geometry in Rn
4.1 Inner product, norm, distance and cross product;
4.2. Lines, planes, conics and quadrics.
Evaluation Methodology
Continuous assessment: two written tests marked from 0 to 10. A minimum mark of 3 in each test and an overall mark of 10 exempts students from exam.
Exam-based assessment: an exam (worth 0-20) or resit covering all the material taught. Minimum pass mark:10
NOTES:
In case of online exams, an oral assessment is required. The final grade will be the arithmetic mean of the written and the oral assessments.
In any form of assessment, a mark of 17 or higher requires the student to take an extraordinary exam.

Teaching Method
The fundamental principles are transmitted, accompanied by the exemplification of their applications; in TP classes students are guided to apply and explore the concepts learned; construction of collaborative knowledge are encouraged.
