Branch of knowledge: Engineering and Architecture



By the end of this content area, students will be able to have: 1. Knowledge and understanding of the mathematical principles of Real Calculus in one variable underlying their branch of engineering. 2. The ability to apply their knowledge and understanding of Real Calculus to identify, formulate and solve mathematical problems using established methods. 3. The ability to select and use appropriate tools and methods of Real Calculus: limits, differentiation, integrals, sequences and series, to solve mathematical problems. 4. The ability to combine theory and practice to solve mathematical problems that require Real Calculus. 5. The ability to understand mathematical methods and procedures of Real Calculus, their area of application and their limitations.

Learning activities and methodology
The docent methodology will include: - Master classes, where the knowledge that the students must acquire will be presented. To make easier the development of the class, the students will have written notes and also will have the basic texts of reference that will facilitate their subsequent work. - Resolution of exercises by the student that will serve as self-evaluation and to acquire the necessary skills. - Small groups classes, in which problems proposed to the students are discussed and developed. - Office hours
Assessment System
  • % end-of-term-examination 60
  • % of continuous assessment (assigments, laboratory, practicals...) 40
