Objectives
In this first course of Calculus the students should acquire the mathematical background needed to understand and apply the concepts and techniques of one-variable infinitesimal Calculus. More specifically, at the end of the course students should be able to 1. Handle and operate conf¡dently with real numbers 2. Find the limits of converging sequences 3. Understand the concept of function, as well as to operate with elementary ones 4. Understand the concept of derivative, both form the analytical and the geometrical point of view 5. Graphically represent functions of one real variable 6. Compute the area of regions delimited by the graphs of elementary funcions
