The aim of the course is to provide the basic elements of differential calculus for functions of one variable
The course provides some basic concepts of mathematical analysis and the first elements of differential calculus for functions of one variable
The main expected learning outcomes are
Numerical sets, equations and inequalities, analytical geometry, trigonometry.
Lecture classes and exercise classes.
As part of the innovation learning project novel tools will be used for the active learning of students. The goal is to increase students' skills via interactive, experience-based, learning methodologies (e-learning, teamwork, etc.) for enhanced participation, using an advanced level of communication that makes the student more aware and autonomous

EXAM DESCRIPTION
The exam consists of
To enroll the exam you must register by the deadline on the website https://servizionline.unige.it/studenti/esami/prenotazione
Multiple choice tests. It is aimed to verify the student's ability to manage mathematical notation and to carry out simple computations and simple deductive reasoning. It is necessary to be successful in the multiple choice test in order to access the written exam
Written exam. This part includes open questions and exercises. It is aimed to verify the knowledge of the main tools of differential calculus. The written exam consists of exercises with several questions of different difficulty. The student must be able to solve the exercises correctly and to justify the necessary steps to obtain the final result, and to use the correct formalism.
Students are recommended to follow all lectures, exercises sessions and tutors hours.
