Program Overview
The University of Genoa offers a comprehensive program in Mathematical Analysis 1B, providing students with fundamental elements of integral calculus for functions of one variable, differential calculus for functions of multiple variables, and the theory of ordinary differential equations.
Objectives and Contents
Formative Objectives
The primary objective of this course is to provide students with the first tools of mathematical modeling, including integral calculus, series, ordinary differential equations, and the basic theory of functions of multiple variables.
Detailed Formative Objectives and Learning Outcomes
The main learning outcomes expected from this course include:
- Knowledge of the analytical and geometric meaning of integral calculus
- Knowledge of the fundamental tools of differential calculus for functions of multiple variables
- Knowledge of the main methods for solving ordinary differential equations
- Ability to solve exercises, discussing the reasonableness of the results obtained
Prerequisites
Students are required to have completed the contents of the Mathematical Analysis 1A course.
Teaching Methods
Lectures and exercises will be held in person. Through the teaching innovation project, innovative tools will be used to promote active student learning. The goal is to increase student competence through new learning methodologies, from e-learning to team work, through experiences that enhance student participation and make them more aware and autonomous.
