Aims, Skills and Learning Outcomes

To apply to real life situations the concepts and mathematical tools described in the syllabus. To apply concepts in approaches carried out in other curricular units. To optimise Mathematics applications solutions in real context and appropriate software applications for their resolution and economically interpret their solution. To use the concepts of derivative and integral in the resolution of problems and in routine academic and professional studies. Competences to be developed: The ability to develop self-learning, being capable of identifying, organising, treating and analysing information; Numerical ability and the use of calculation tools that allow for the analysis, the interpretation and the extrapolation of data, with the development of logical mathematical reasoning; The capability to programme, analyse and formalise information, in order to optimise the resolution of problems.

Learning Methods

The main subjects of the discipline, the resolution of problems and practical syllabus application activities will be approached in the theoretical-practical classes (by having recourse, whenever necessary, to tecnology and audiovisual methods). Introduction of theoretical concepts using examples of direct application in the economic area, in order to show the significance of the studied syllabus. Application exercises, of the approached subjects, in the resolution of daily problems, so that the student will be able to gain interest on the contents of the curricular unit and show its utility. Student follow-up and study orientation and search of solutions for the resolution of the proposed problems.

Continuous Assessment

Two individual written tests (with a weight of 80%: each test has a 40% weighting) and the resolution of a practical worksheet (with a weight of 20%).

Under the terms of the Bachelor's Regulation:

1. The actual presence of the students in the classes will be registered and, if the number of absences per student exceeds 30% of the total number of contact sessions provided for each course unit, it will automatically be transferred to the final evaluation of the normal time.

2. In the written tests and in the evaluation elements referred to in points b) to e) of paragraph 2 of Article 38 it is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 7.5 (seven point five) values.

3. If the student is absent or has a grade lower than 7.5 points in the tests or evaluation elements referred to in the preceding paragraph, he will be automatically transferred to the final evaluation of the normal season.

4. If the student fails to obtain a grade of less than 7.5 points in the second written test (held on the same date as the final written test of the normal time), he / she may apply for evaluation at the time of appeal.

Final Exam

Individual written test: 100%
