Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
None
Acquire and manage the mathematical language that allows the student to understand, formulate and solve problems that arise in computation and engineering. Get familiar with the functions of one real variable, their properties of continuity, differentiability and graphic representation with their applications. Understand and be able to manage the formal language of demonstrations of the mathematical results. Manage sequences and series of real numbers and of functions, understanding the different kinds of convergence.
