2. Pre-Requisites

To achieve the objectives of the subject, previous knowledge and skills are required. In particular, it is needed a basic knowledge of geometry, algebra and trigonometry, elementary mathematical operations (powers, logarithms, exponentials, fractions...), differentiation and integration of real functions  and fundamentals of graphical representation.

3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession

The mathematical concepts that are studied in this subject provide an essential tool that will be used in basic and advanced subjects of Chemical Engineering. Functions of one and several variables, geometry, differential equations, numerical calculus, numerical differential equations appear in the study, synthesis, development, design, operation and optimization of industrial processes that produce physical/chemical/biochemical changes in the materials dealt in Chemical Engineering. Calculus and differential equations are present in the planning and development of experimental, academic and professional activities in Chemical Engineering. Another important aspect of Calculus and Differential Equations is that it is a subject that helps to enhance the capacity for abstraction, rigor, analysis and synthesis that are characteristic of mathematics and necessary for any other scientific discipline.
