Objetivos
The general objective of this course unit is to provide students with the complementary basic mathematical knowledge to the one acquired under the previous course unit Fundamentals of Calculus.
Resultados de aprendizagem e competências
By the end of term time, students should be able to:
- Identify the algebraic, trigonometric and exponential representations of a complex number and perform operations with complex numbers.
- Carry out algebraic operations between matrices.
- Apply the matrix condensation process and solve systems of linear equations by Gauss elimination method.
- Calculate the determinant of a matrix and apply its properties to compute invertible matrices and solve systems of linear equations.
- Carry out operations with vectors and apply their properties.
- Calculate the dot, cross and triple products between vectors.
- Recognize straight lines and conic sections and identify their associated geometric elements.

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem
Student-centered approach is the pedagogical methodology applied.
During classes, the fundamental concepts on the different subjects of the course unit are firstly presented, illustrated by some application examples. Afterwards, students will carry out exercises to consolidate knowledge on the covered topics through collaborative working group, under the guidance of the teacher.

Obtenção de frequência
The approval in this UC (curricular unit) can be obtained through two assessment processes: Continuous Evaluation or Exam Evaluation.
CONTINUOUS EVALUATION The Continuous Evaluation presupposes the accomplishment of four summative tests and, for freshmen students, a compulsory attendance of at least 75% of the classes.
Let T be the grade (from zero to 8 values, rounded to tenths) obtained in the summative test and MT1, MT2, MT3 the grades (from zero to 4 values, rounded to tenths) obtained in the short summative tests. The final classification CF (rounded to units) will be the plain sum of the four grades.
The approval conditions are as follows:
- If CF is greater than or equal to 10 and less than 18, the student passes on with a final grade equal to CF.
- If a student fails the approval conditions referred in point 1, he can recover the grade obtained in T on the date of the normal period exam.
EVALUATION BY EXAM Students who have not obtained approval for Continuous Assessment may take an exam, being approved as long as they obtain a grade of 10 or higher.
NOTE: In any of the evaluation processes, whenever the final classification is greater than or equal to 18 values, the student must carried out an oral test, obtaining as a final grade the average of the classifications of the written test and of the said oral test . If the student does not attend the oral test, the final classification will be 17 values.
Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final
CF = MT1 + T + MT2 + MT3

Exam evaluation
Avaliação especial (TE, DA, ...)
Working students, high-level athletes, association leaders and students under the Religious Freedom Law must address, until the second academic week of the semester, to the head of the Curricular Unit to present their pertinent specificities, in accordance with the terms of the respective diplomas under penalty of failure to enforce them for lack of objective conditions.
Melhoria de classificação
In this course unit passed students of this academic year may only apply to their improvement classification in the supplementary period exam.
Observações
