Titular Professors
Differential and Integral one variable functions calculus. Vectors spaces and their basic properties.
Learning Outcomes of this subject are:
LO.1 Mathematical knowledge to face the degree.
This is a very generic learning outcome, which is also shared with other subjects. In this subject, this result of general learning is seggregated in these other two:
LO1.1: Knowledge of multivariate mathematical analysis, probability and statistics to face the degree.
LO1.2: Practical application of the acquired knowledge to problem solving.

The course is taught in 2 weekly lessons lasting 100 minutes each.
The usual dynamics of each class will consist of a combination of theoretical explanations always followed by exercises that exemplify what has just been explained. Applied methodologies: master class (MD0), problems and exercises class (MD1).
Additionally, the eStudy provides resources for the student to carry out self-learning activities (by viewing videos indexed according to their content) and self-assessment (by conducting non-evaluable questionnaires on the content). Applied methodology: self-paced learning (MD5).
Finally, in order to achieve an applied view of the mathematical concepts presented in class, two practical exercises using the Matlab software will be undertaken, one each semester. Applied methodology: challenge-based learning (MD11).
