CODE 84362 ACADEMIC YEAR 2018/2019 CREDITS 12 cfu anno 1 INGEGNERIA BIOMEDICA 8713 (L-8) - GENOVA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR MAT/05 LANGUAGE Italian TEACHING LOCATION GENOVA SEMESTER Annual TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB OVERVIEW The course is a standard introduction to Calculus: differential and integral calculus in one variable, some differential equations, differential calculus in two variables. The various topics will be presented mainly via examples and intuitive justifications; in some cases formal proofs will be given. Exercise sessions are very important for the course. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The course aims at giving the basic tools of calculus. At the end of the course, students will understand the basic concepts of mathematical analysis and will be able to solve some problems using such tools. Another goal of the course is to train students in rigorous thinking. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES The aim is to provide some fundamental tools of Mathematical Aalysis, to improve the students' attitude toward rigorous reasonig and and to teach students how to solve some problems using the notions studied in the course. At the end of the course the student must know the fundamental results of the differential calculus in one and two variables and of the integral calculus in one variable. Moreover, the student must know how to apply such notions to solve the exercises, and must be able to apply such notions in other courses that use them. PREREQUISITES The standard curriculum of the Italian scuole medie superiori TEACHING METHODS Traditional: theory lessons, exercises sessions, support by tutors; exercises for independent training are given to students. SYLLABUS/CONTENT Differential calculus in one variable (limits, continuity, derivatives, Taylor formula, study of functions). Integral calculus in one variable (primitives, definite integrals and areas, improper integrals, study of integral functions). Differential equations (separation of variables, linear equations of first order, linear equations with constant coefficients). Differential calculus in two variables (limits, continuity, partial derivatives, level curves, tangent lines and planes, max, min and hessian matrix).

TEACHERS AND EXAM BOARD ALBERTO PERELLI Ricevimento: On appointment; take directly an appointment with the professor or write to perelli@dima.unige.it MANUEL MONTEVERDE Exam Board ALBERTO PERELLI (President) ALESSANDRO FAZZARI MANUEL MONTEVERDE LESSONS LESSONS START When the first year starts. Class schedule MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS EXAMS EXAM DESCRIPTION Two intermediate written exams (end of first and second semester), final written and oral examination. If students pass both intermediate written exams, the arithmetic mean of the results can be taken as result for the written exam in the summer sessions (June - July - September). If both such intermediate written exams are passed with success, their arithmetic mean can be used as the final mark of the course. ASSESSMENT METHODS Evaluation of the output from written and oral exams; the goal of the course is reached if the student is able to solve exercises of the same level as those proposed during the exercises hours of the course, and if the student knows the fundamental contents of the course.
