Learning Outcomes
This course aims to develop the capacity for abstraction, logical deduction, and analysis; to acquire techniques that foster critical and mathematical thinking; to master multivariable differential and integral calculus, as well as ordinary differential equations; and to apply mathematical knowledge to solve engineering problems.
Students are expected to be able to:
- manipulate functions of several variables, understanding the importance of these functions in their application to engineering problems; (OB1)
- Identify and determine the general and particular solutions of first- and second-order ordinary differential equations. (OB2)
- Apply integration techniques to solve multiple integrals. (OB3)
