1. General information
The aim of this subject is to provide mathematical tools that serve as a basis to build and/or study certain mathematical models related to the degree.
These approaches and objectives are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs, of the 2030 agenda (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/es/) and certain specific goals, contributing to some extent to their achievement.
Specifically:
Goal 4: Quality Education.
Target 4.4 By 2030, significantly increase the number of youth and adults who have the necessary skills, particularly technical and vocational, to access employment, decent work and entrepreneurship.
2. Learning results
The student, passing this course, achieves the acquisition of the basic knowledge of Integral Calculus, Differential and Partial Derivative Equations, Geometric Applications and Numerical Calculus.
Interpret quantitatively and qualitatively the results obtained in the satisfactory resolution of certain problems based on phenomena and processes related to agrifood and rural engineering.
These learning results are aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 4, target 4.4, indicated in the objectives of the subject. With the achievement of these courses, students will have acquired the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to be able to solve certain problems related to Agri-Food and RuralEngineering that require the use of mathematical techniques.
3. Syllabus
TOPIC 1. INTEGRAL CALCULUS
TOPIC 2. GEOMETRIC APPLICATIONS OF INTEGRAL CALCULUS
TOPIC 3. ORDINARY AND PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS. DIFFERENTIAL SYSTEMS TOPIC 4. APPLICATIONS OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS AND SYSTEMS
4. Academic activities
Lectures: 30 hours
The topics of the program will be presented in class with the support of varied examples to facilitate the understanding of the subject.
Problem solving in the classroom: 30 hours
Application problems will be proposed based on the theoretical presentations. Some of them will be solved in the classroom leaving the rest for the student's non-classroom work.
Works: 27 hours
Several application problems related to the totality of the subject studied will be worked on. Such problems will be similar to those that will later be required in the written exams.
Study: 60 hours
Assessment 3 hours
5. Assessment system
Students will have two mid-term exams to pass the subject. In the first one, the first two topics will be evaluated and will be carried out at the end of the second topic. In the second one, the last two topics will be evaluated and will take place at the end of the four-month period. The grade for the subject will be obtained as follows:
- The average grade of the midterm if a minimum of 3 points out of 10 has been obtained in each of the midterms, - The minimum between the average grade of the midterm and 4.9 if a minimum of 3 points out of 10 has not been obtained in any of the midterm, or if the average grade of the midterm does not reach 5.
Those students who have not passed the continuous assessment or who, having passed the subject, would like to raise their grade, will be able to take an exam of the whole subject on the official calls, on the date that the EPSH imposes for this purpose.
In the last three years, the success rates have been 87.30%, 37.50% and 64.86%
