Mathematical Analysis I

Objectives

Domain of the basic techniques required for the Mathematical Analysis of real functions of real variable.

The students should acquire not only calculus skills, mandatory to the acquisition of some of the knowledge lectured in Physics, Chemistry and other Engineering subjects, but also to develop methods of solid logic reasoning and analysis.

Being a first course in Mathematical Analysis, it introduces some of the concepts which will be deeply analyzed and generalized in subsequent courses.

Teaching method

Theoretical classes consist in a theoretical exposition of subjects, illustrated by application examples.

Practical classes consist in the resolution of some application exercises for the methods and results lectured in the theoretical classes, as well as support for exercises solved by the students in autonomous work.

Any questions or doubts will be addressed during the classes, during the weekly sessions specially programmed to attend students or in individual sessions previously scheduled between professors and students.

Evaluation method

Please contact Professor Ana Luísa Custódio (alcustodio@fct.unl.pt).
