	Objectives
	THE COURSE IS ONE-YEAR COURSE IN MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS. IT PROVIDES THE STUDENT COMPLETE THE TRANSITION FROM PURELY MANIPULATIVE TO RIGOROUS MATHEMATICS, INTRODUCING THE MAIN TOPICS FROM BASIC SET THEORY TO THE THEORY OF LIMIT, CONTINUITY, DIFFERENTIABILITY AND INTEGRABILITY OF REAL ONE-VARIABLE FUNCTIONS. THE STUDENT ARE EXPECTED TO GAIN A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THEORETICAL ARGUMENTS AND TO BE ABLE TO APPLY THEM IN CONCRETE PROBLEMS. UPON COMPLETION OF THIS COURSE, THE STUDENT SHOULD: -DEMONSTRATE AN UNDERSTANDING OF BASIC MATHEMATICAL SKILLS USED IN CALCULUS; -APPLY THE SHOWN PRINCIPLES OF CALCULUS TO SOLVE APPLIED PROBLEMS RELATED IN MATHEMATICS AS WELL AS IN OTHER DISCIPLINES; -UNDERSTAND AND COMMUNICATE CLEARLY AND EFFECTIVELY THE PRINCIPLES OF CALCULUS, USING PROPER VOCABULARY AND NOMENCLATURE; -DEVELOP EFFECTIVE STUDY SKILLS IN ORDER TO MASTER COURSE CONTENT AND OBJECTIVES; THINK CRITICALLY IN READING AND WRITING MATHEMATICS, DETERMINING IN PARTICULAR IF CONCLUSIONS OR SOLUTIONS ARE REASONABLE.

	Teaching Methods
	THE COURSE IS STRUCTURED AS A COMBINATION OF LECTURES AND PRATICAL SESSIONS. THE FEEDBACK FROM STUDENTS WILL ALWAYS BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.

	Verification of learning
	ABILITY IN PROBLEM SOLVING AND IT IS A TWO HOUR-LONG WRITTEN EXAM. DURING IT, STUDENT WILL BE NOT ALLOWED TO USE ANY TYPE OF BOOK, NOTE OR CALCULATOR. THE FINAL ORAL EXAMINATION IS AIMED TO EVALUATE THE COMPREHENSIVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE MATTER. ONLY STUDENTS REACHING A POSITIVE GRADE AT WRITTEN TEST ARE ALLOWED TO TAKE THE ORAL EXAMINATION. EXAM COVERS ALL COURSE MATERIAL.

	Texts
	W. RUDIN: PRINCIPLES OF MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS, HARDCOVER 1986.

	More Information
	CLASS ATTENDANCE IS NOT REQUIRED BUT IT IS STRONGLY ADVISED. SINCE LEARNING CALCULUS IS A STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS, IN ORDER TO FOLLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE LECTURES, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO SPEND 8 HOURS PER WEEK OUTSIDE OF CLASS WORKING ON THIS COURSE.
