This research analyzes the quality and results of a criterial and large-scale comprehensive calculus test in the school cycles between 2014 and 2019 to a total of 5367 second-semester students of the engineering careers of a mexican public university. With the results obtained it is observed that the criterial examination of integral calculus is a valid, reliable test with satisfactory power of discrimination and with a majority load of procedural reagents. The results of the research show that the greatest difficulty for students is focused on integration techniques, especially when trigonometric functions are involved. It was also found that the success of students in the ECCI is due to the ability to resolve integrals with hyperbolic, exponential and logarithmic functions, as well as the proper application of the fundamental theorem of calculus and the technique of variable change.

Integrability and the Integral of Partial Functions from R into R1 In this paper, we showed the linearity of the indefinite integral the form of which was introduced in [11]. In addition, we proved some theorems about the integral calculus on the subinterval of [a,b]. As a result, we described the fundamental theorem of calculus, that we developed in [11], by a more general expression.

In Western Mexico, melon production depends on high-input systems to maximize yield and product quality. Tillage, plasticulture, fumigation with methyl bromide, and fertigation, are the principal management practices in these systems. However, at present several problems has been found: pests as sweetpotato whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Gennadius), aphids (Myzus and Aphis), leafminer (Liryomiza sativae); diseases as Fusarium, Verticilium, and Pseudoperenospora, and weeds demand high pesticide utilization and labor. There is a growing demand for alternative cultural practices, with an emphasis on reducing off-farm input labor and chemicals. Our research is based on use of organic mulches, such as: rice straw, mature maize leaves, banana leaves, sugarcane bagasse, coconut leaves, and living mulches with annual legume cover crop in melons with crop rotation, such as: Canavalia, Stilozobium, Crotalaria, and Clitoria species. Also, inoculations with mycorrhizal arbuscular fungi for honeydew and cantaloupe melon seedlings production are been assayed in greenhouse conditions for a transplant system. The use of life barriers with sorghum, marigold, and other aromatic native plants in conjunction with a colored yellow systems traps for monitoring pests is being studied as well. While that the pest control is based in commercial formulations of Beauveria bassiana for biological control. The first results of this research show that the Glomus intraradices, G. fasciculatum, G. etunicatum, and G. mosseae reached 38.5%, 33.5%, 27.0%, and 31.0% of root infection levels, respectively. Honeydew melons production with rice and corn straw mulches shows an beneficial effect with 113.30 and 111.20 kg/plot of 10 m2 compared with bare soil with 100.20 kg. The proposed system likely also lowers production cost and is applicable to small- and large-scale melon production.

Context: Rethinking mathematics teaching practices in a university context is an emerging research theme. Objectives: In this article, we aim to discuss the limits and possibilities of using mathematical tasks in the teaching and learning processes of the concepts of Derivative, Integral and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Design: The study is based on a qualitative-interpretative perspective of research, with methodological procedures inspired by a Design-Based Research. Environment and participants: The research was developed with students attending a Functions of a Variable class in a public university in the state of São Paulo. Data collection and analysis: Data were collected through mathematical tasks on Differential and Integral Calculus solved by students. The protocols produced were analysed, pointing out the main aspects identified, which led us to organize categories of analysis and dimensions (i) knowledges mobilized and developed by students in relation to mathematical concepts; (ii) main errors and difficulties presented by students in the development of tasks; (iii) limits and possibilities of the practice of exploratory teaching in the university context. Results: The results reveal aspects that characterize a process of resignifying the mathematical concepts discussed with the students and a deepening of their knowledge about the concepts of the DIC. Conclusions: As future notes, we suggest rethinking university teaching practice, since the study indicated possibilities and potentialities of the use of exploratory tasks in the teaching of Differential and Integral Calculus.

In this paper, some important properties concerning the κ-Hilfer fractional derivative are discussed. Integral transforms for these operators are derived as particular cases of the Jafari transform. These integral transforms are used to derive a fractional version of the fundamental theorem of calculus. Keywords: Integral transforms, Jafari transform, κ-gamma function, κ-beta function, κ-Hilfer fractional derivative, κ-Riesz fractional derivative, κ-fractional operators.
