AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course aims to provide basic knowledge preparatory to the other subjects requiring mathematical methods and tools. The student must be able to study the graph of functions of one variable, and solve simple linear and separable variable differential equations.

TEACHING METHODS

Frontal lectures on the blackboard. Working students and students with certified SLD (Specific Learning Disorders), disability or other special educational needs are advised to contact the teacher at the beginning of the course to agree on teaching and examination arrangements so to take into account individual learning patterns, while respecting the teaching objectives.
