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 courses offered by the Department of Economics at the undergraduate level.

Detailed Educational Objectives and Learning Outcomes

The course aims to facilitate the learning of 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 Methods	The course is normally held with frontal lessons and exercises. In the 2020/21 academic year, lessons may be held in blended mode (mostly remotely with some face-to-face meetings) or entirely remotely.
Present on Aulaweb	Yes

Program/Content

• Recalls on sets, numerical sets, concept of function
• Real functions of real variable: limits, continuity, derivatives and differentials, function study. Notes on real functions with 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.

Teachers and Commissions

• Marina Ravera
  • Reception: Reception (remote via teams or in person) must be agreed upon with the teacher by prior appointment via email.

Lessons

Start of Lessons

September 2023, according to the academic calendar.

Lesson Schedule

The schedule for this course can be found at: EasyAcademy Portal.

Exams

Examination Methods

The student's preparation is verified through a final exam, consisting of completing 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 during the lessons.

The student in course or out of course can repeat the exam in all sessions (winter, summer, and September) with the following single limitation: in sessions where three appeals are scheduled, the student (in course or out of course) can enroll/present themselves for the exam in two appeals out of three, at their choice.

Verification Methods

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