Objectives
Objectives
Aims to deepen and develop the mastery of vector calculus as a tool to solve geometric problems involving lines and planes in two and more dimensions; functional description of static and dynamic phenomena in various dimensions; expand and consolidate the essential knowledge of differential and integral calculus in Rn and its application to concrete problems in order to expand the mastery of the concepts presented in the course and develop independent reasoning. Solve optimization problems using the identification of extreme points fo functions of several variables; Describe the properties of the Riemann integral. Use the notions of double and triple integral in the calculation of areas and volumes.

Teaching methodologies and assessment
Teaching methodologies and assessment
Series of exercises will be proposed with the aim of consolidating knowledge and stimulating problem-solving skills. The evaluation of the discipline, expressed on a scale from 0 to 20 points, will be made at different times, including 2 midterms (40% + 50%) and individual work to be developed outside the classroom (10%). If the weighted average of these evaluations is equal to or greater than 9.5, the student will be successful in the subject, otherwise the student will be able to attend a global frequency. In the final exam, the student can improve the grade. The minimum passing grade for these assessments is also 9.5. Assessment criteria are explained at the beginning of the semester.
