Learning outcomes

At the end of the module the student is acquainted with the topology of the space of real numbers R and the notion of continuous function on this space; he/she acquires the notions of derivation, limit and integration for functions in one variable on R and he/she is able to perform a function study; he/she acquires the link between derivation and integration through the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
