Skill for the resolution of the mathematical problems that can be formulated in the engineering. Aptitude for applying the knowledge on: linear algebra; geometry; differential geometry; differential and integral calculation; differential equations and in partial derivatives; numerical methods; algorithmic numerical; statistics and optimization |
B1 |
That the students proved to have and to understand knowledge in an area of study what part of the base of the secondary education, and itself tends to find to a level that, although it leans in advanced text books, it includes also some aspects that knowledge implicates proceeding from the vanguard of its field of study |
B2 |
That the students know how to apply its knowledge to its work or vocation in a professional way and possess the competences that tend to prove itself by the elaboration and defense of arguments and the resolution of problems in its area of study |
B5 |
That the students developed those skills of learning necessary to start subsequent studies with a high degree of autonomy |

Description |
Guest lecture / keynote speech |
Oral exhibition complemented with the use of audiovisual means and some questions headed to the students, with the purpose to transmit knowledges and facilitate the learning |
Problem solving |
Technic by means of which one has to solve a specific problematic situation related to the contents of the subject. |
Supervised projects |
Homework that professors are going to asses during the course. |
Mixed objective/subjective test |
Written exam used for the evaluation of the learning, whose distinctive stroke is the possibility to determine if the answers given are or no correct. It constitutes an instrument of measure, elaborated rigorously, that allows to evaluate knowledges, capacities, skills, performance, aptitudes, attitudes, etc

Description |
The contents of the subject as well as the developed methodologies require that students work by themselves. This will generate some questions that they can ask during the classes or during the office hours. Office hours will be face-to-face if possible, otherwise they will be online.
The students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption from attendance can use the office hours as a reference in order to follow the course and the autonomous work.

Qualification
|
Mixed objective/subjective test |
A1 B1 B2 B5 B6 C4 |
Written exams to assess the knowledge of the subject by the students. The subject will consist on two parts and the final qualification of the subject will be the addition of the qualifications obtained at each of them.
1) The first part will be performed during the teaching period and will involve all the chapters studied until the celebration of the exam. If the student passes this exam, the qualification is retained until the end of the present course (and the extraordinary exam in december if that is the case). This part will be recoverable in the final exam (second chance), to be held in July.
2) The second (and final) exam will be carried out in the period of final exams. It will involve the second part of the subject and a second chance to pass the first part.
In case of passing any of these two parts, either in the partial exam or in the final exam of the first opportunity, the qualification is retained for the present course until the exam of second opportunity.
To pass the subject is compulsory to obtain at least 30% of the maximum grade in each part. |

Assessment comments |
The students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic
exemption from attendance will be assessed through the objective tests
in the same conditions as the rest of the students. The second opportunity and the extraordinary exam in december will be graded following the same criteria than in the first one. Fraudulent behaviour will result in a "0" qualification in the subject for the two opportunities.

Other comments |
Homework of this course will attend to the following: • Preferably, virtual homework will be used, when printing is not required. • In the case that paper is needed, then: - No plastic materials will be used. - Printing will be done both sides. - Recycled paper will be used as possible. - Unnecessary printed drafts will be avoided.
In general, a sustainable use of natural resources will be
done. Moreover, ethic principles related to sustainability will be
followed. The development of this course will be done following the basic principle of non-discrimination, particularly of non-discrimination on the basis of gender, and promoting the values ??of respect and equality among people. |
