Course Description:
The course studies theory of functions of one variable. In particular, we focus on the properties of continuity, derivability, and integration of functions. As soon as the student understands these concepts, they are applied to the study of problems of interest in Economy, such as monotony and convexity, graphic representation, polynomial approximation, optimization and calculus of areas. The program is divided in five big lessons: Lesson 1: elementary properties of functions. In particular, it is studied when a function is periodic, monotone, shows symmetries or has an inverse. Lesson 2: continuity. In particular, it is studied when a function has limits and /or asymptotes, the calculus of intersection points of graphics and the existence of maxima and minima. Lesson 3: differentiability, part one. We study the calculus of derivatives, stressing implicit differentiation. In the same way, we apply derivatives to study monotony and the calculus of maxima and minima. Lesson
