Overall objectives:

1 - O1. Ability to analytically manipulate algebraic and transcendental functions; knowing the concepts of limits and continuity; manipulate in a reasonable manner the differential calculus, both in R and in Rn; ability to generalise, to some extent, some of the concepts previously learned and to use them in other contexts of higher level courses.
2 - O2. Ability to operate matrices; knowing how to apply elementary operations in a matrix; ability to solve systems of linear equations using matrices; knowing how to compute eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix and some of its applications.

Syllabus:

1 - CT1. Real valued functions of real variables (domain, limits, continuity, differentiability, differentiation rules, graphical representation of functions).
2 - CT2. Differential calculus in Rn (basic notions and examples; partial derivatives; total differential; the chain rule; implicit differentiation); Extrema of functions of two or more variables.
3 - CT3. Linear Algebra (matrix algebra, the method of Gauss elimination, rank of a matrix, determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors); System of linear equations (the Cramer's rule).
