Learning Outcomes
After the frequency with success of this course, the student should be able to perform the fundamental operations of multivariable differential and integral calculus and implement its applications on several engineering issues(OB1).
The student should be able, also to identify and resolve first and second ordinary differential equations (OB2).
Recognize the importance and apply the different mathematical techniques studied on this Mathematical Analysis course on the formulation and in the resolution of different problem (OB3).
These knowledge should be applied to specific problems in their area of Engineering (OB4).
