Learning Outcomes

  1. CM01 (Competence) Work intuitively, geometrically and formally with the notions of limit, derivative and integral.
  2. CM03 (Competence) Contrast the use of calculus with the use of abstraction in algebra and analysis to solve a real problem.
  3. CM04 (Competence) Explain ideas and concepts of fundamental mathematics, communicating one's own reasoning to others.
  4. KM01 (Knowledge) Identify the essential ideas of the proofs of some basic algebra and calculus theorems.
  5. SM01 (Skill) Write small mathematical texts (exercises, solving theoretical questions, etc.) in an orderly and precise manner.
  6. SM02 (Skill) Handle inequalities, number sequences and derivatives and integrals of functions in one and several variables.
