  • to apply integral calculus (one variable) to area and volume
  • to analyse the convergence of a serie
  • to work with complex numbers

Adaptation of teaching commitments following the COVID-19 pandemic for the May-June 2020 session

Teaching methods implemented : distance-learning

The theoretical courses are podcast on myUlg. For practical work, introductory videos and resolution of the exercises, as well as detailed solutions are put on ecampus. Remediations are done via ecampus.  

Assessment subjects

The evaluation relates to the course face-to-face, in podcasts and on ecampus.

Assessment methods

The theory assessment is changed: the two theory questions are replaced by a multiple choice question. There is no change in the evaluation of the practice. The practical aspects of the distance assessment will be detailed in e-campus.
