The student should have completed the course "Càlcul 1". It is required to have practice in differentiating and integrating one-variable functions.
2. Power series
Taylor's formula. Concept of power series.
Power series expansions. Examples.
Euler's formula, the complex exponential.
3. Improper integrals.
Different kinds of improper integrals. Probability laws. Expected value.
The Gaussian law.
Convergence criteria for positive functions. Convergence criteria for (complex) valued functions.
Laplace transform and characteristic function of a density. The domain of definition, examples.
Moment generating function. Statement of the unicity theorem.
Convolution, law of the sum of independent variables.
4. Integral calculus in several variables.
Coordinate systems in Euclidean space. Polar, cylindric and spherical coordinates.
Functions of several variables, representation methods (graphics, level sets).
Curves and surfaces, parametric and continuous form.
Riemann sums in several variables. Multiple integrals.
The fundamental theorem of calculus in several variables, densities.
Calculus of integrals: Fubini's theorem and change of variable.
5. Differential calculus in several variables.
Linear approximation at apoint: differential and tangent plane.
Partial derivatives, gradient, the chain rule.
Non constrained optimization.
Implicit functions.
Constrained optimization.
In the learning process it is fundamental the own work of the student, who at all times will have the help of the professor.
The hours of class are distributed in:
Theory: The teacher introduces the basic concepts corresponding to the subject, showing examples of their application. The student will have to complement the explanations of the professors with the personal study.
Problems: By completing sets of exercises, the comprehension and application of the concepts and tools introduced in the theory class is attained . The student will have lists of problems, a part of which will be solved in the problem classes. Students should work on the remaining ones as part of their autonomous work.
Seminars: to reach a deeper understanding of the subject the students work o in group on more complex practical problems. Some seminars will deal with computer-aid approach to solving problems.
The proposed teaching methodology may experience some modifications depending on the restrictions to face-to-face activities enforced by health authorities.
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.

A continuous assessment is performed based on:
a) Two written tests combining theory and problems, with grades P1 and P2
b) Submission of two sets of exercises, with grades LL1,LL2. Can be completed at home and uploaded to Campus Virtual.
Submissions in b) are manadatory with no resit assesment.
If both P1,P2 have been attended, a grade C1 is generated according to C1=(0,15)(LL1+LL2)+(0,35)(P1+P2).If C1 is at least 5, the final grade is C1.
Students with C1<5 and having submitted b), and students willing to improve their grade, may attend a resit exam, with grade R.
The final grade C2 after the resit exam is C2=(0,15)(LL1+LL2)+(0,70) R.
For students improving their grade, the final score is MAX(C1,C2).
Student’s assessment may experience some modifications depending on the restrictions to face-to-face activities enforced by health authorities.
