Mathematical Analysis III A
Objectives
The essential of the program is devoted to the study of the real functions of several variables paying special attention to the questions related to limits, continuity, differentiation and the fundamental theorems of differential calculus, including chain rules and differentiation of functions defined implicitly. In one of the sections, we propose to make a study of curves as preparation for the line integrals ( in Mathematical Analysis IV-A) and we also includes the problem of finding the envelope of plane curves. The second part of the program deals with the study of ordinary differential equations. We hope that the students be able to determine the general solution and particular solutions of various types of ordinary differential equations.

Teaching method
Theoretical issues are presented and explained in the first part of each lecture. These issues are immediatly applied by solving problems, where the application of the concepts is necessary. The students also solve a few exercices as homework.
Evaluation method
Evaluation is made by three tests along the semester or a final exam. The final classification is the weighted mean of the classification of the tests or, in alternative, the mark obtained in the final exam.
