Specific objectives stated by the academic staff for academic year 2024-25

Fundamentals of Mathematics in Engineering I is the first subject of Mathematics in the degree. According to that, its main goal is the achievement of an even basis in the mathematical education of the students, strengthening and complementing the abilities achieved in the subjects Mathematics I and II of the Bachelor. In particular, it will focus on the study of the basic technics and concepts of Real Single Variable Differential Calculus. Moreover, we will study an introduction to Linear and Matrix Algebra, as well as the Complex Numbers. 

The knowledge of this topic will improve the understanding of other subjects in the Civil Engineering Degree, and will enable the study of more advanced mathematics in the future. Besides, studying mathematics contributes to the development of the scientific methodology, which is based in logical deduction.
