LEARNING OUTCOMES
The goal of this course is to provide students with the concepts, fundamental results and techniques of Differential and Integral Calculus which are necessary for the development of base competences for their area, namely with the founded use of concepts and techniques which were learned, to solve real problems in the area do Economy and Management. It also aims to contribute to their reasoning capacity and critical spirit.
