AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The main objective is to supply the fundamentals of differential and integral calculus in one variable, differential equations and functions of several variables.

LEARNING OUTCOMES (FURTHER INFO)

The main objective is to supply the fundamentals of differential and integral calculus in one variable, differential equations and functions of several variables. In particular, students are expected to develop the following skills: operations on limits and derivatives, study of functions of one variable, integral calculus, elementary study of level curves of functions of two varlables, resolution of simple differential equations of first order, resolution of linear differential equations of order n with constant coefficients.

TEACHING METHODS

Lectures (120 hours)

EXAM DESCRIPTION

The exam consists of a written and an oral test. Furthermore, during the year, there will be two written tests. The students that will pass them, will be enabled to access directly the oral exam.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The written test is based on the resolution of problems similar to those carried out during the course. In such a test is proven the ability to perform problems relating to one variable or n variable functions, ordinary differential equations and integrals. In the oral exam is assessed the understanding of the concepts and reasoning skills acquired by the students.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Once the course has started,  office hours for students will be decided for the period of lectures. Students are suggested to enroll in AulaWeb, in order to be able to get further information by the teachers about the course.
