FUNDAMENTALS OF MATHEMATICS 1
(objectives)
To provide the conceptual and methodological tools for finding information transmitted by the formalized and deductive language of mathematics.
To provide the fundamentals of mathematical analysis and plane geometry oriented towards the understanding of the physical-mathematical models.
Course topics are: the differential and integral calculus in one variable; its concepts, tools and modeling instances; linear algebra analyzed from a geometrical point of view; abstract theory and its geometric interpretation in two and three dimensions.
