Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites. Nevertheless, in the development of the subject it is assumed that the contents of Càlcul I have been assimilated.
Objectives and Contextualisation
This course is the natural continuation of Càlcul I. It develops the basic tools of calculus with a real variable and focuses on integration, numerical series and functional series. A first introduction to complex functions is also included.
Competences
- Develop strategies for analysis, synthesis and communication that allow the concepts of physics to be transmitted in educational and dissemination-based contexts
- Use critical reasoning, show analytical skills, correctly use technical language and develop logical arguments
- Use mathematics to describe the physical world, selecting appropriate tools, building appropriate models, interpreting and comparing results critically with experimentation and observation
Learning Outcomes
- Argue with logical rigor.
- Break down a periodic function into Fourier series.
- Calculate integrals analytically.
- Determine the convergence of improper integrals.
- Determine the convergence of numerical series.
- Determine the radius of convergence for a power series.
- Express definitions and theorems rigorously.
- Transmit orally and in writing, in a clear manner, the logical-mathematical reasoning that leads to problem resolution.
- Use critical reasoning, show analytical skills, correctly use technical language and develop logical arguments
Content
0. The field of the complex numbers
1. Riemann's Integral
The problem of the area under a curve. Riemann Integrability. The integral as a limit of Riemann sums. Fundamental theorem of calculus. Partial Integration. Change of variable.
2. Improper Integrales
Improper integral of a locally integrable function. Improper integrals of non-negative functions. Euler's Gamma function. Cauchy's principal value. Introduction to the Laplace Transform.
3. Number Series
Series of real numbers. General criterion of convergence. Absolute and conditional convergence. Absolute convergence criteria. Other convergence criteria.
4. Sequences and Series of functions
Sequences of functions. Pointwise and uniform convergence. Series of functions. Power series. Taylor series. Fourier series and an introduction to the Fourier Transform.
Methodology
Theory classes: exposition of the theoretical body of the subject.
Practical classes: exposition of the resolution of some problems from the list previously delivered to the students and some guidance for the resolution of the rest.
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.

Assessment
Take-home exercices (20% of the final grade): a problem will be proposed at the end of each chapter that has to be solved individually and delivered within the established term. Their qualification can not be improved in the re-evaluation.
First and second term tests (40% + 40% of the final grade): will be taken at the middle and at the end of the semester respectively.
Re-evaluation: allows to improve the grade obtained in the term tests (80% of the final grade). It is possible to improve both or only one of the terms but in order to be eligible for re-evaluation it is mandatory to at least have taken the two terms.
Non assessable: the student who has not carried out evaluation activities accounting for 50% of the final grade will be rated as non-assessable.
Single assessement
The students that opted for single assessement evaluation will have to perform a final evaluation that will first consist of a test of the whole syllabus. This test will take place on the same date, time and place as the second term test of the continuous assessment modality. Besides, beforethe exam, the student will deliver 2 documents with resolved problems of 2 problem sets proposed at an earlier date.
For the mark, 80% of the final mark will come from the exam and each of the set of problems will count 10%.
The students that opted for single assessement evaluation will have the chance of passing the module or improve their mark at the same re-evaluation test as the students that had opted for the continuous assessement option (both exams will be identical and will take place on the same day, time and in the same place), but it is mandatory to at least have taken the previous final test. At this test, it is only possible to improve the mark of the exam. The part of the problem sets can not be improved in the re-evaluation.
