General description

Nesta materia estudianse técnicas básicas do cálculo diferencial e integral nunha variable, e unha introducción ao cálculo en varias variables. Ademais, presentanse algunhos métodos numéricos básicos para resolver ecuacións non lineais, aproximar funcións dunha variable e súas derivadas, e resolver sistemas de ecuaciones lineais.

Methodologies

Methodologies	Description
ICT practicals	In these lectures students will solve problems related with the subject contents using Python.
Problem solving	In these lectures students will solve problems related with the subject contents by hand, with the aim of easing concepts and methods comprehension.
Objective test	To evaluate learning outcomes, there will be a written test on the dates set by the Faculty Board. The test will be oriented essentially to problem solving.
Guest lecture / keynote speech	During these lectures, the teacher will present the subject contents making use of examples to help to the comprehension of the different concepts and methods.

Methodologies

ICT practicals

Problem solving

Description

During ICT practicals with Python and Problem solving sessions, lecturers will solve students questions about theoretical concepts and their practical applications, reviewing and discussing with each student him/her progress in the assigned practice or problem.

In addition, lecturers will solve the doubts raised by the students in their respective tutorial hours.

With the aim of facilitating to follow the subject, teachers will make tutorial attention via Teams with part-time students and those with academic dispensation of attendance exemption.

Assessment

Methodologies	Competencies	Description	Qualification
ICT practicals	A1 B2 B3 B5 B7 B9 C3	During ICT practicals lecturers will propose exercises that will qualify up to 40% of the final mark.	40
Objective test	A1 B2 B3 B5 B7	There will be a written test on the dates set by the Faculty Board. This test will qualify between 50% and 60% of the final mark, depending on the qualification obtained in the problem solving test.	50
Problem solving	A1 B2 B3 B5 B7 B9 C3	Along the four-month period of classes, there will be a test that will qualify up to 10% of the final mark. Those students that won't achieve the maximum qualification, will have the opportunity to recover the remaining part in the objective test.	10

Assessment comments
In order to pass the subject, it is mandatory to attain at least a qualification of 50%. Part-time students and those with academic dispensation of attendance exemption that have not been evaluated of ICT practicals can do a specific exam to recover 40% of the final mark; they can obtain the remaining 60% with the objective test. Fraudulent performance of the tests or evaluation activities, once verified, will directly imply a mark of "0" in the subject in the corresponding call, invalidating any grade obtained in all the evaluation activities for the extraordinary call.
