Prerequisites
There are no oficial prerequisites. However, it is recommended for students to have taken the course “Fundamentals of Mathematics I”.
Objectives and Contextualisation
The course contains three fundamental parts: Differential calculus, integral calculus and vector analysis.
The objectives of the course are:
(i) Understand the basic concepts in each of these parts. These concepts include both the definitions of the mathematical objects being introduced and their interrelationship.
(ii) To know how to apply the concepts studied in a coherent way to the approach and resolution of problems.
(iii) Acquire skills in mathematical writing and calculus.
Competences
- Analyse and solve problems effectively, generating innovative and creative proposals to achieve objectives.
- Introduce changes to methods and processes in the field of knowledge in order to provide innovative responses to society's needs and demands.
- Know, understand, use and apply appropriately the mathematical foundations necessary to develop systems for reasoning, learning and data manipulation.
- Students must have and understand knowledge of an area of study built on the basis of general secondary education, and while it relies on some advanced textbooks it also includes some aspects coming from the forefront of its field of study.
Learning Outcomes
- Analyse a situation and identify areas for improvement.
- Analyse and solve problems effectively, generating innovative and creative proposals to achieve objectives.
- Perform derivatives, partial derivatives and integrals.
- Students must have and understand knowledge of an area of study built on the basis of general secondary education, and while it relies on some advanced textbooks it also includes some aspects coming from the forefront of its field of study.

Activities and Methodology
| Title | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type: Directed | |||
| Problems | 35 | 1.4 | |
| Theory | 40 | 1.6 | |
| Type: Supervised | |||
| Practical sessions | 10 | 0.4 | |
| Type: Autonomous | |||
| Study | 85 | 3.4 |
The methodology will be the standard for this type of subject with theory classes, problems and practical sessions.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exams | 80% | 5 | 0.2 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 |
| Exercise practices | 20% | 50 | 2 | 2, 4 |
The assessment consists of an inter-semester exam (compulsory) that will count for 40% of the semester grade, and a final semester exam (compulsory) that will count for 40% of the semester grade.The remainder 20% will come from the exercises of the practical sessions.
To pass the course, the average of the corresponding grades must be greater than or equal to 5, and each of these grades must be greater than or equal to 3.
There will be a resit exam at the end of the course and the student will pass the course if he meets the above conditions by replacing the grades of the partial and final exam by the one obtained in the resit exam.

Software
In the exams we will let the students write in the language that be most comfortable for them, but in principle
we prefer that they use the English. We will work within sage.
