Limits and continuity of functions. Weierstrass Theorem and Bolzano Theorem. 3. Derivative and differential of a function. Geometric interpretation. Derivation rules. Study and applications of the first derivative. Study and applications of the second derivative. Cauchy's Rule. Study full of functions. 4. Integral calculation in IR. Definition of primitive. Primitivation Techniques. Definition of Riemann integral. Properties of the integral. Immediate primitives. Fundamental theorem of integral calculus.
  • The main objective of the curricular unit is to acquire basic knowledge already worked in secondary education and others gradually from mathematical analysis and to develop mathematical skills and competences. It is intended to introduce essential concepts and tools in the context of the study of mathematical models and differential and integral calculus, essential in the formation of future qualified staff in the field of the study cycle. The aim is to consolidate and complement the mathematical training previously acquired, acquire fundamental mathematical training in the domain of differential and eventually one-dimensional integral calculus and also develop the capacity for abstraction in the domain of formulating and solving problems. In a more sustained way provide a deeper knowledge about the concepts of limit, continuity, derivative and indefinite integral, the relationship between these concepts and their application in real context.
