The course aims to provide foundational knowledge of differential and integral calculus, as well as elementary linear algebra.
Course Prerequisites
The course does not require prior knowledge from other courses in the bachelor's degree.
Teaching Methods
The course consists of lectures, delivered using both slides and the blackboard, and guided exercise sessions featuring examples that support the understanding of theoretical results.
Assessment Methods
The assessment of the acquisition of the mathematical tools covered in the course is carried out through written midterm tests and a final exam. These include application-oriented exercises, in which the use of mathematical tools is aimed at obtaining a precise numerical result.
