Calculus 2

Description

You can consult this information at the end of the document. The student should have completed the course "Càlcul 1". It is required to have practice in differentiating and integrating one-variable functions. 1. Complex Numbers The imaginary unit. Complex arithmetic. The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. Polar form of a complex number. Roots. Exponential and logarithmic functions. Differentiation and integration of complex-valued functions. 2. Power Series Taylor's formula. The concept of a power series. Power series expansions. Examples. Euler's formula and the complex exponential function. 3. Improper Integrals Types of improper integrals. Probability laws. The Gaussian bell curve. Random variables with infinite expectation. Convergence criteria for positive integrands. Criteria for general integrands, including complex-valued ones. The Laplace transform and the characteristic function of a probability density. Region of convergence. Examples. Moment-generating functions. 4. Differential and Integral Calculus of Several Variables Coordinate systems in Euclidean space: polar, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates. Functions of several variables. Methods of representation (graphs, level curves, and level surfaces). Curves and surfaces: parametric and implicit representations. Linear approximation at a point: differential and tangent plane. Partial derivatives, gradient, and the chain rule. Unconstrained optimization. The concept of an implicit function. Constrained optimization. In the learning process it is fundamental the own work of the student, who at all times will have the help of the professor. The hours of class are distributed in: Theory: The teacher introduces the basic concepts corresponding to the subject, showing examples of their application. The student will have to complement the explanations of the professors with the personal study. Problems: By completing sets of exercises, t he comprehension and application of the concepts and tools introduced in the theory class is attained . The student will have lists of problems, a part of which will be solved in the problem classes. Students should work on t he remaining ones as part of their autonomous work. Seminars: to reach a deeper understanding of the subject the students work o in group on more complex practical problems. Some seminars will deal with computer-aid approach to solving problems. Continuous assessment The continuous assessment of the course will be based on: a) Two individual written examinations covering theory and/or problem-solving (midterm exams), graded as P1 and P2. b) Two assessed seminars, graded as S1 and S2. These seminars are not recoverable. If both midterm exams have been taken, the following grade will be computed: [ Q1 = 0.1,(S1+S2) + 0.4,(P1+P2). ] If Q1 is equal to or greater than 5, the final grade will be Q1. To pass the course, each of the grades P1 and P2 must be at least 3. Students whose Q1 is below 5 may take a resit examination at the end of the semester, graded as R. The final grade will then be [ Q2 = 0.1,(S1+S2) + 0.80,R. ] Students who do not sit the two midterm examinations will receive the status NOT ASSESSED . Single assessment Students who have opted for the single-assessment modality must take a final examination, from which they will obtain a grade A. They must subsequently take an examination corresponding to the seminar component, from which they will obtain a grade S. The final grade will be [ \text{GRADE}_1 = 0.2,S + 0.8,A. ] If the final grade is below 5, the student will have a further opportunity to pass the course through the resit examination held on the date specified in the examination calendar. In this examination, only grade A may be recovered. Grade S is not recoverable. Use of Artificial Intelligence Model 1 – Prohibited use: “In this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is not permitted at any stage. Any work containing AI-generated content will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or total reduction of the grade for the assessment activity, or in more severe sanctions in serious cases. Any irregularity committed during an assessment activity (academic fraud, plagiarism, or improper use of AI, unless such use has been explicitly authorized in the course guide) that may lead to a significant alteration of the assessment outcome will result in that activity being graded with a mark of 0. If the course guide establishes that obtaining a minimum grade in that assessment activity is a mandatory requirement to pass the course, or if multiple irregularities occur in assessment activities within the same course, the final grade for the course will be 0. Furthermore, disciplinary proceedings may be initiated against any student involved in such irregularities.” The professor in charge will publish studying material in the online campus CV.
