Intended learning outcomes
- To know basic functions’ properties.
- To understand the differential calculus concepts necessary for the study of functions; to relate derivative with linear approximation and velocity.
- To understand Taylor expansion as a key tool to approximate functions with features located at a point and to be able to generalize the notion of polynomial approximation in other contexts.
- To associate power series with the limit of Taylor expansions, to use convergence criteria and to know power series expansions.
- To manipulate antiderivative methods as an basic tool for integral calculus. To associate the value of the integral of a function with its average and to know the basic applications. Manipulate indefinite and improper integrals.
- To solve separable differential equations and 1st order linear equations, as particular cases of direct integration.
- To understand application models leading to differential equations and to interpret results in their context.
