The course will introduce and analyze fundamental tools for the numerical solution of mathematical problems and for the mathematical modeling of complex systems, with application in the field of Bioengineering.
The course aims at introducing some of the main mathematical tools that are largely used in applications, and experimenting with them using the PC. Specific topics include: iterative algorithms and gradient methods, interpolation, regularization and inverse problems.
The course will provide the mathematical basis allowing the student to treat a diverse class of problems of interest in the field of bioengineering; lectures will focus on both computational techniques, as well as modeling tools for complex systems. In order to better understand the presented topics, theoretical lectures will be complemented by exercises also involving the use of the PC.
At the end of the couse, the student will be able to
elements of calculus and linear algebta
Lectures and computer exercises, done in groups and consisting in realizing a small project and writing a report.

Oral exam
Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (DSA) are reminded that in order to request adaptations for examinations they must first enter their certification on the University website at servizionline.unige.it in the ‘Students’ section. The documentation will be checked by the University's Services for the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities and DSA Sector.
Subsequently, well in advance (at least 7 days) of the exam date, an e-mail must be sent to the teacher with whom the exam is to be taken, including in copy knowledge of both the School Referring Teacher for the inclusion of students with disabilities and with DSA (sergio.didomizio@unige.it) and the Sector indicated above. The e-mail must specify
- the name of the teaching course
- the date of the call
- the student's surname, first name and roll number
- the compensatory tools and dispensatory measures considered functional and required.
The contact person will confirm to the teacher that the applicant has the right to request adaptations during the examination and that these adaptations must be agreed upon with the teacher. The lecturer will respond by stating whether the requested adaptations can be used.
Requests must be sent at least 7 days before the date of the call to allow the teacher to assess their content. In particular, in the case of concept maps for the exam (which must be much more concise than the maps used for studying), if the submission does not respect the deadline, there will not be the technical time necessary to make any changes.
For further information on requesting services and adaptations, please consult the document: Guidelines for requesting services, compensatory and/or dispensatory measures and specific aids.
During the oral test the candidate may be required to
Laboratory exercises carried out during the year are also handed in, in order to test the ability to use complex mathematical models on the computer.
