Allow the acquisition of the method deductive logic and provide the basic mathematical tools of the calculation of differential and integral. Each topic will be introduced and strictly the treaty, carrying, sometimes, detailed demonstrations, and also doing large reference to physical meaning, geometric interpretation and application number. Proper methodology and a reasonable skill in the use of the concepts of calculation and its entirety and differential results will put in grade students in principle to face so easy application more topics that will take place in the following courses.
