High school math.
On one hand, we will review all fundamental concepts that have been worked at high school.. On the other hand, we will introduce some new concepts (as differential equations o calcules in seeral variables). But the most important point will be the emphasis in the use of these techniques in the mathematical modelization of several areas of interest.
1. Elementary functions
2. Exponential growth and other population models
3. Limits and continuity
4. The derivative and its applications
5. The integral and its applications
6. Introduction to differential equations
The course will be semi-presential. The students will be able to have presential teaching during some specific days. The rest of the teaching will be on-line.
The student will receive exercises lists for the work in the problem sessions.
The teaching of the course will use in essential form the virtual campus as means of communication, as well as other virtual tools. The students that want to communicate with the professors by e-mail must use the institutional address provided by the university (@autonoma.cat).
Naturally, the students will be able to ask questions about the development of the course during the presential hours.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The following evaluation acts will be performed:
The students not getting 5 points in the continuous evaluation can go to a final exam of all the subject if they have been previously evaluated of at least 2/3 of the total of the continuous evaluation. If the qualification of this exam is superior to the one obtained in the continuous evaluation, the final qualification will be the one coming from the recovery exam. If it's inferior, the final qualification will be the average between the continuous evaluation qualification and the recovery exam qualification. The students having 5 or more points in the continuous evaluation also can go to the final exam, but they need to be aware that the final qualification can then be inferior, and they can even fail the subject.
A student will be considered "presented" if has participated in activities leading to at least 2/3 of the qualification.
