Calculus (First year / First semester) Linear Algebra (First year / First semester)

Learning outcomes: RA1.2. Knowledge and understanding of engineering disciplines underlying their specialisation, at a level necessary to achieve the other programme outcomes, including some awareness at their Forefront. RA1.3. Awareness of the wider multidisciplinary context of engineering. RA7.1. Ability to communicate effectively information, ideas, problems and solutions with engineering community and society at large. Basic and general competences: CB1. Students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that builds on the foundation of general secondary education, and is usually at a level that, while relying on advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study. CGB3. Ability to understand and master the basic concepts of discrete mathematics, logic, algorithmic and computational complexity, and their application to the resolution of engineering problems. CGO12. Knowledge and application of basic elements of economics and human resources management, organisation and planning of projects, as well as legislation, regulation and standardisation in the field of computer projects, in accordance with the knowledge acquired. Objectives: 1. To know and apply sets, algebraic structures, and binary relations. 2. To set out and solve combinatorial problems by using basic counting methods, or more advanced ones like recurrences and generating functions. 3. To know and apply graph theory to real-life problems.

* Theoretical-practical classes: 2 ECTS. Concepts and knowledge to be acquired are presented in these sessions. Students are provided with lecture notes and can find basic reference bibliography to facilitate class understanding and posterior personal work. Exercises are solved by students for self-assessment and achievement of necessary skill. During the practical sessions, students are presented with exercises that are discussed and solved. * Individual and group work: 2.5 ECTS. Students' personal work. * Continuous assessments. 1 ECTS. Knowledge, skills and abilities, gradually acquired, are globally assessed. They serve as self-assessment of progress to adapt learning strategies if necessary. * Tutoring sessions. Sessions to clarify theoretical or practical issues encountered by students on an individual or in-group basis. * Final exam: 0.5 ECTS. Knowledge, skills and abilities acquired over the course of the academic semester are globally assessed.
