AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

In the Analysis module we provide the tools for the comprehension and computation of double and triple integrals, of curvilinear integrals of scalar and vector functions, and we introduce the related theorems (divergence, Gauss-Green).
We show how to deal with linear systems of differential equations (considering in particular the case of constant coefficients).

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The first goal is the understanding of integral calculus for functions of two or three real variables: double and triple integrals, line and surface integrals of scalar fields.
We will discuss the divergence theorem in two and three dimensions.
The second objective is a general understanding of systems of ordinary differential equations (with particular emphasis on linear systems in low dimension).
We will discuss the convergence properties of sequences and series of functions, in particular of power series expansions.

TEACHING METHODS

Lecture and exercise classes (online learning).

The teaching methods may change according to the evolution of the health emergency.

MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS 2

EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

Written exam, including multiple-choice test and a second part requiring the solution of exercises.

An oral exam may optionally be taken as well.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The written exam verifies the knowledge of the main techniques of integral and differential calculus, as well as the solution of systems of differential equations and the analysis of sequences and series of functions.

The optional oral exam verifies the heoretical knowledge and possibly requires the solution of exercises.
