The methodology will be the usual one for classes in the classroom, writing on the blackboard, with the occasional help of some resources on-line to illustrate some graphic or computational aspects of the course. Also, the classroom notes will be uploaded in Aula Global at the end of each chapter, along with the problem sheets that will be solved and discussed in the small groups.
