The objective of this work is to show how the Engineer course students use the didatic book to study the Partial Derivates. It s known the importance of the Calculus subject in the courses linked to the exact sciences, in which students show heavily burdens, while learning this subject. A lot has been researched about the use of technologies of information in the classroom, trying to make the teaching process more effective, but in practice, the levels of dismissing and failure show that it is not been very satisfactory. The new technologies are making the book a more efficient tool, and you can have it in hands easier than the other technologic tools. Like this, we developed our research with the propose to investigate how students manipulate the books, looking for information and what contributions the use of this tool for the learning of the topic about Partial Derivates. To look for evidences that show us how it happened, we elaborated a research tool with elementary questions based in the Raymond Duval s Theory of the Registers of Semiotics Representation that was used with students from different levels from the mechanic engineering from a private university in São Paulo. The research reveled that the students have as a priority the algebraic records in their resolutions and this representation is known as a valid answer and other representations are just auxiliaries. Most of the students showed a relative good work dealing with the functions treatment of two varieties in their algebraic representation, but they showed some hardship when they are expressed in their natural language. Bother groups show us similarities when using the book for the exploration of the topics. The way some questions were solved told us the book was an efficient tool for the learning process
