Objectives
The student is supposed to obtain the rigorous knowledge of the notion of limit (of sequences and functions) and the main associated results. It is also an objective the differential calculus on one variable, including the analytical study of real functions of one real variable.
Prerequisites
The student must be familiar with mathematics taught in the final year of high school.
Subject matter
1. Real numbers. Topological notions in R.
2. Mathematical induction.
3. Sequences of real numbers. Limits. Infinite limits. Limits at infinite. Monotone sequences. Convergent sequences. Subsequences. Upper limit and lower limit. Cauchy sequence. Completeness of R.
4. Single real variable functions: limits and continuity. Properties of continuous functions; Bolzano’s theorem. Uniform continuity. Lispschitz continuous functions. Cantor’s theorem.
5. Differential calculus. Derivatives. Fundamental theorems: Rolle, Darboux, Lagrange and Cauchy. Indeterminate forms. Cauchy and L’Hospital rules. Taylor’s formula. MacLaurin’s formula. Extrema, concavity and inflection points.

Teaching method
Classes consist on an oral explanation which is illustrated by examples and the resolution of some exercises. Most results are proven. Students have access to copies of the theory and proposed exercises. Some of the exercises are solved in class, the remaining are left to the students as part of their learning process.
Evaluation method
Students must attend, at least, two thirds of the classes and must deliver two thirds of the homework. There are two tests that can substitute the final exam in case of approval. Otherwise the student must pass the final exam. More detailed rules are available in the portuguese version.
