1. General information
The main objective is to acquire a solid foundation in Algebra and Geometry and problem solving skills. Introduce the use of mathematical software (giving priority to reflection and analysis over calculation) and numerical problem solving. Work mathematical rigor, logical-deductive capacity, select efficient techniques and strategies and enhance critical and abstract reasoning . To enable students to study other subjects in the curriculum.
Prerequisites: solid mathematical knowledge of high school. Specifically: properties and operations of and with matrices and determinants, solution existence analysis of linear systems, Gaussian elimination.
These approaches and objectives are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda of United Nations (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/es/), to the extent that it is essential to base the subsequent knowledge of the rest of the degree and that directly enable students to contribute to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda.
2. Learning results
- Solve mathematical problems that may arise in engineering.
- Have the aptitude to apply the acquired knowledge of Linear Algebra, Geometry, Differential Geometry, Methods
Related numerics and numerical algorithms.
- To know how to use numerical methods in the solution of some mathematical problems. Know the reflective use of symbolic and numerical computation tools.
- Possess scientific-mathematical thinking skills that allow them to ask and answer certain mathematical questions.
- Have the ability to handle mathematical language; in particular, symbolic and formal language.
3. Syllabus
- Matrix algebra.
- Systems of linear equations.
- Vector spaces.
- Linear applications.
- Diagonalization of matrices.
- Spaces with scalar product.
- Differential geometry.
5. Assessment system
A global assessment system is proposed. However, in order to gradually pass the subject, students may carry out a continuous assessment. In both cases, each test is graded out of 10 points. The final grade is calculated applying the corresponding percentages and/or minimum grade requirements in different parts.
Assessment criteria: correct use of efficient strategies and procedures, clear and detailed explanations, absence of mathematical errors, proper use of terminology and notation, orderly, clear and organized exposition (both orally and in writing) and knowledge of the software used.
Ebro River Campus (Zaragoza)
Continuous assessment
- Practical block (20%): Tests and final test with problems similar to the practical ones.
- Theory and problems block (80%, minimum grade 4):
- Continuous activity, PAC (30%): Activities proposed throughout the semester (15%) and written test in the middle of the semester (15%).
- Reduced written test of theory and problems (50%): in the 1st call and will deal with a part of the subject . To take this test, the PAC grade must be equal to or greater than 5 (out of 10).
Global assessment (official calls): Written test with two parts on the contents worked on in the following blocks:
- Theory and problems block (80%, minimum grade 4).
- Practical block (20%).
Teruel Campus
Continuous assessment in face-to-face mode:
- Partial written test (20%, minimum grade 4.5): theoretical-practical questions, problems and practical exercises. Academic Work (10%): Assignments with theoretical-practical exercises.
- Computer practice (20%): Work developed during the practical sessions and final practical exam.
- Final Exam (50%, minimum grade 4.5): Written test (in 1st call) on the theoretical-practical contents of the subject, with exercises and questions of similar difficulty to those worked on in the term.
Continuous assessment in blended mode:
- Non-attendance academic work (30%).
- Final on-site exam (70%, minimum grade 4.5).
Global assessment (official calls):
SINGLE written test (100%) on all the contents worked on.
