MATEMATICA GENERALE

Presentation

The course will provide the main mathematical tools necessary to tackle subsequent courses in the degree program.

Objectives and Contents

Educational Objectives

The course aims to provide students with basic mathematical tools used in other disciplines studied in the Department.

Detailed Educational Objectives and Learning Outcomes

The course aims to facilitate learning by each student of the basic mathematical tools necessary for future studies. By the end of the course, students will be able to understand, apply, and treat mathematical tools.

Specific learning outcomes include:

• Knowledge and understanding: students must acquire adequate knowledge and effective understanding of the mathematical tools proposed in the course.
• Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: students must be able to apply acquired knowledge and understand and solve mathematical problems in various fields, typically economic and financial.
• Autonomy of judgment: students must be able to use acquired knowledge with autonomous evaluation capacity and ability in different application contexts.
• Communication skills: students must acquire the technical language typical of the discipline to communicate clearly and unambiguously with specialist and non-specialist interlocutors.
• Learning ability: students must develop adequate learning abilities that allow them to continue using the mathematical tools assimilated, especially in future disciplines.

Prerequisites

The course does not require prerequisites, considering the individual's heterogeneous basic preparation due to different school backgrounds.

Teaching Methods

• Teaching method: frontal lessons and exercises
• The course is present on Aulaweb, where notes and exercise sheets will be published
• Students with disability certification, DSA, or special educational needs must contact the teacher and the Department's disability referent at the beginning of the lessons to agree on teaching and examination methods that respect the course's objectives and take into account individual learning methods and possible compensatory tools

Program/Content

• Review of sets, numerical sets, concept of function
• Real functions of real variable: limits, continuity, derivatives, and differentials, function study. Introduction to real functions of multiple variables.
• Indefinite integral, definite integral, improper integrals.
• Linear algebra: real vectors, matrices, determinants, linear systems.

Texts/Bibliography

Recommended study texts will be communicated at the beginning of the lessons and published on Aulaweb.

Exams

Examination Methods

The student's preparation is verified through a final exam, consisting of solving one or more exercises and a group of theoretical questions (definitions, statements, applications, etc.). Specific examination methods will be communicated and made known on Aulaweb by each teacher at the beginning of the lessons.

The student can repeat the exam in all sessions (winter, summer, and September) with the following unique limitation: in sessions with 3 appeals, the student can request the correction of the paper in 2 out of 3 appeals, at their choice.

Assessment Methods

The exam will evaluate the student's ability to understand, apply, and treat the mathematical tools learned.

The exam will evaluate the actual achievement of the expected learning outcomes and will be verified by evaluating the ability to understand the mathematical tools presented in the course.

Specific examination methods will be communicated and made known on Aulaweb by each teacher at the beginning of the lessons.
