    Mancha negra: reflexões sobre um projeto no ensino de cálculo
    (2002) MELLO, Margarida P.; SANTOS, Sandra A.
    Oil spilling from a tanker in a coastal region forms the setting of a Calculus project, which chiefly explores the topic “level curves.” After tackling a given problem, the student is asked to research other phenomena that bear relation with this topic, and devise new problems. The objectives and strategies adopted in the work with projects undertaken by the authors in the context of the Calculus with Applications team, formed by a group of teachers from the State University of Campinas, are described. The thirty-six projects produced by a class of seventy-one students are analyzed. Reflections are made upon the results achieved and the effects of the project work for this class of Engineering students.
