In order to achieve the learning goals described in section 5, the student must posses all the knowledge and skills associated to the mathematics curricula in earlier stages. In particular, we assume:
- Basic geometry and trigonometry knowledge.
- The ability to perform with ease basic math operations, such as powers, logarithms and fractions.
- The ability to work with polynomials.
- Proficience with computers at a user level.
In addition to this, "Advanced Mathematics" builds on the knowledge and skills acquiered in "Algebra", "Calculus I" and "Calculus II". Even if it is not compulsory to have passed all these subjects to take this course, in that case the learning experiece would become much harder and therefore we strongly recommend not to do so.
The industrial engineer makes use of physics, mathematics and statistics, together with engineering skills, to develop their profession in aspects such as control, instrumentation and automatization of processes and equipment or the design, manufacturing and operation of industrial products. In these course, the student will further their formation in mathemtics and get a broader perspective and a better understanding of how the knowledge and skills acquiered through the mathematics secquence intertwines with the rest of the degree.

Problem solving and/or case studies [ON-SITE] | Combination of methods | CEB01 CG04 CT03 | 0.6 | 15 | N | N | Some lectures will be dedicated to solving exercieses. Some will be solved completely, for some, the lecturer will provide hints so that the student can finish them in their own. This lectures will also serve to solve problems that the students may have encountered while studying and solving excercises on their own. | |
Class Attendance (practical) [ON-SITE] | Practical or hands-on activities | CEB01 CG03 CG04 CT02 CT03 | 0.4 | 10 | N | N | Some lectures will be dedicated to solve excercises with the aid of the computer. These will be a mix between basic exercises, and more realistic excercises and applications. The software used will be MATLAB. | |

Final test | 70.00% | 90.00% | There will be an exam consisting of both theoretical questions and exercises. For the studintes graded on the coniuous assesment system, the exam will consist only of excercises. The minimum grade in this activity, in order for it to be compensable, is 3.5 over 10. |
Laboratory sessions | 10.00% | 10.00% | There will be an exam consisting of excercises that must be solved using MATLAB. The minimum grade in this activity, in order for it to be compensable, is 4 over 10. |
Projects | 20.00% | 0.00% | The student must hand in the proposed exercises and questions in the dates specified at the begining of te course. The goal of this activity is to encourage the implication of the student with the subject throught the whole course. |
