The programming of this subject that includes the theoretical, practical and technical knowledge of the differential and integral calculus of a variable and linear algebra is the subject of the Calculus I and Algebra subjects of the first semester. Students who have access to this prior knowledge, monitoring the subject is much more expensive and difficult in time and effort.
The Calculus II is part of the subjects that make up the Mathematics module for the degree of Engineering. These subjects are basic for the scientific and technical education of the student when promoting the development of their capacities of abstraction and scientific rigor, as well as those of analysis and synthesis. The differential calculation of several variables allows the analysis of the optimization of functions and acquire quantitative techniques essential for the allocation of resources, decision-making and management in various problems that the future engineer may pose throughout his professional life. With the contribution of the integral calculation, it will help not only the resolution of multiple problems in the world of science and engineering, but also a better understanding of the knowledge and instrumental and analytical techniques that can be used in them. The subject, as a whole, will allow to understand more deeply other subjects studied previously (Calculus I, Algebra, Physics, ...) and will facilitate the study of new ones, both basic and specific.
