Objetivos
The general objective of this course unit is to provide students with the mathematical knowledge about functions of a real variable and differential calculus.
Resultados de aprendizagem e competências
By the end of term time, students should be able to:
- Analyse the properties of functions of a real variable.
- Calculate the derivative of a function at a point by definition and its lateral derivatives.
- Demonstrate the differentiability of a function in an open interval and apply the derivative rules to calculate the derivative function.
- Calculate the equations of the tangent and normal straight lines at a point.
- Apply the L'Hospital's rule in limit calculus.
- Analyse the monotony of a function and its relative extremum.

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem
The teaching approach applied in this course unit is the student-centered approach based on flipped learning. In this context, learning materials are available on the IT platform Moodle along with a set of learning activities for students to perform in order to achieve the learning outcomes.

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 one optional assignment.
Let MT1, MT2, MT3 and MT4 be the grades (from zero to 5 values, rounded to tenths) obtained in each of the 4 summative tests and TO be the grade (from zero to 1 value, round to tenths) of the optional assignment. The final classification CF (rounded to units, up to a maximum of 20 values) will be the plain sum of the five 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+ TO

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.
- Handling or displaying any electronic equipment is prohibited, except school calculators (non-graphing).
