Coordinator: Joan Triadó Aymerich

Trimester: Second term

Credits: 6

Teaching staff: 

Carlos Paul Recarens

Teaching languages

  • Catalan

Skills

Specific skills

  • EC1: Train for the resolution of mathematical problems that may arise in engineering. Ability to apply knowledge about: linear algebra; geometry; differential geometry; differential and integral calculus; differential equations and partial derivatives; numerical methods; numerical algorithm; statistics and optimization.

Transversal competences

  • CT2: That students have the ability to work as members of an interdisciplinary team either as another member, or performing management tasks in order to contribute to developing projects with pragmatism and a sense of responsibility, assuming commitments taking into account the available resources.

Description

The subject provides a second mathematical level to students, completing the analysis of one variable with the integral and the analysis of functions in several variables.

New vector concepts related to derivation and integration with practical applications in electrical and mechanical engineering are introduced.

At the end of the course, the student must be able to:

  1. Calculate integrals by basic methods
  2. Calculate areas and volumes using Integral Calculation resources
  3. Solve the differentiability in several variables.
  4. Solve elementary situations of differential geometry
  5. Calculate the ends of the graph of functions of several variables
  6. Familiarize yourself with the vector notation of fields.

Evaluation system

The evaluation system consists of three parts identified as follows. An exam at the end of the term in which all the content of the subject is assessed. There are two sessions of problems solved individually; the first at one-third of the quarter and the second at two-thirds of the quarter.

The final grade is the weighted sum of the final exam and the individual problem sessions, with the following weights:

FINAL GRADE = EXAM x 0,6 + PROBLEMS1 x 0,2 + PROBLEMS2 x 0,2

There will be an extraordinary exam recovery session for all students who do not pass the subject in the ordinary assessment.

The grade of this recovery will replace the exam grade obtained in the ordinary assessment.
