Learning Outcomes

OB1: Identifies real functions of real variables into direct, inverse, and composite forms.
OB2: Understand the concept of differential and integral, definite integral, numerical series, and functional series.
OB3: Correctly apply the different derivation rules to real functions of real variable.
OB4: Solve exercises applying the concept of differential.
OB5: Correctly apply the different integration techniques of real functions of real variable.
OB6: Calculate flat areas using integral calculus.
OB7: Assess the convergence of the number series using the appropriate criteria.
OB8: Determines the development of a function in the MacLaurin series or Taylor series.
OB9: Determine the MacLaurin or Taylor polynomials.
OB10: Use rigour and detail in the presentation of the resolution of the exercises, namely using the structured presentation of the reasoning underlying the problem solving, the simplification of the result obtained and the presentation of an interpretative and critical comment on the solution obtained.
