The course aims to provide basic knowledge of mathematical analysis and its applications in a simplified setting.
Course Prerequisites
The curse does not require preliminary knowledge from other curses of the bachelor degree.
Teaching Methods
The course consists of lectures, delivered through the aid of slides and the blackboard, and of guided exercises with examples that are useful for the comprehension of theoretical results.
Assessment Methods
The assessment of the acquisition of the mathematical tools necessary to work on applications is made by means of a final test, with exercises direct to applications, where the use of the mathematical tools is the end to achieve a precise numerical result.
