Prerequisites
The student should have completed the course "Càlcul 1". It is required to have practice in differentiating and integrating one-variable functions.
Objectives and Contextualisation
1. Complex numbers.
2. Integral transforms.
3. Differential calculus in several variables.
4. Integral Calculus in several variables.
Learning Outcomes
- KM01 (Knowledge) Recognise the language and basic tools of calculus in one and various variables.
- SM03 (Skill) Solve, using numerical methods, optimisation problems, linear algebra and analysis in general that appear in science and, especially, in statistics.
- SM04 (Skill) Resolve problems associated with the extreme points of functions of one and several variables, and the calculation of moments.

Activities and Methodology
| Title | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type: Directed | |||
| Solving problems sessions | 15 | 0.6 | |
| Theory class | 30 | 1.2 | |
| Type: Supervised | |||
| Seminars | 5 | 0.2 | |
| Type: Autonomous | |||
| Personal Study | 30 | 1.2 | |
| Solving problems | 62 | 2.48 |
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.
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
Continous Assessment Activities
| Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First mid-term exam | 40% | 2.5 | 0.1 | KM01, SM03, SM04 |
| First submission of exercises | 10% | 1.5 | 0.06 | KM01, SM03, SM04 |
| Second mid-term exam | 40% | 2.5 | 0.1 | KM01, SM03, SM04 |
| Second submission of exercises | 10% | 1.5 | 0.06 | KM01, SM03, SM04 |
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=(0,1)(LL1+LL2)+(0,4)(P1+P2).If C1 is at least 5, the final grade is C1.
In order to pass the subject, the each one of the qualifications P1 and P2 has to be be greater or equal to 3.
Students with C1<5 and having submitted b), and students willing to improve their grade, may attend a resit exam, with grade R.
Single evaluation: see catalan version.
The final grade C2 after the resit exam is C2=(0,1)(LL1+LL2)+(0,8) R.
Student’s assessment may experience some modifications depending on the restrictions to face-to-face activities enforced by health authorities.
