Objetivos
The general objective of this course unit is to provide students with the basic mathematical knowledge required in the professional training of a top professional technician.
Resultados de aprendizagem e competências
By the end of term time, students should be able to:
- Identify the properties of a real function.
- Characterise inverse trigonometric functions.
- Interpret the notion of limit of a function and calculate the limit of a function.
- Analise the function continuity and apply the theorems of Bolzano and Weierstrass.
- Interpret the concept of derivative of a function and calculate the derivative of a function at a point by definition.
- Analise the differentiability of a function in an open interval and apply the derivative rules to calculate the derivative function.
- Apply the theorems of Rolle, Lagrange and Cauchy.
- Apply the Taylor's theorem to a k-times differentiable function.

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem
Student-centered approach is the pedagogical methology 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.

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 4 summative tests and a compulsory attendance of at least 75% of the classes.
Assigning by MT1, MT2, MT3 and MT4 the grades (from zero to 5 values, rounded to tenths) obtained in each of the 4 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, provided that the classification in any of the sums MT1+MT2 and MT3+MT4 is greater than or equal to 3.5 values.
- If a student fails the approval conditions referred in point 1, the student can recover the lowest grade obtained in MT1+MT2 and MT3+MT4 by performing a recovery test on the date of the normal period exam, provided that MT1+MT2 or MT3+MT4 is greater than or equal to 3.5 values.
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 + MT2 + MT3 + MT4

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
- Each summative test shall be of 60 minutes, the recovery test of 90 minutes and each exam of 150 minutes.
- To perform the recovery test and/or exams, an identification document with photo has to be presented.
- During assessment tests and examinatiom, only the enquiry form given by the teacher is allowed; handling or displaying any electronic equipment is prohibited.
