Overall objectives:

O1 - To familiarize the student with the theory of integration in R^n and with its main applications.
O2 - To equip students with the basic theoretical and pratical notions of Fourier Analysis which will then be used in subsequent curricular units.

Evaluation Methodology:
Oral and written exposition of the currricular unit's syllabus. Discussion and solving exercises and concrete problems in small groups or individually. The evaluation of the curricular unit will focus on two written tests, each with a weight of 45% of the final grade, and a coursework, worth 10% of the final grade. The coursework will be about solving a theoretical exercise or a theorem, assigned randomly to each student. In this way the student can assess his progress and change his studying strategies if necessary. During the supplementary Exam period students who have not successfully completed the curricular unit can choose between retaking one of the tests or doing an exam which includes all the contents of the curricular unit. The importance of this exam is to test the student's ability to relate the notions and results introduced throughout the curricular unit.
