Learning Objectives
The aim of the course is to develop a suitable knowledge of the basic mathematics with a glance to applications without giving up a suitable conceptual and logical correctness.
Prerequisites
To reach the goal it is necessary (but not sufficient) that the student be totally confident with the basics of elementary algebra and calculus at the standard generally reached at high school level (set theory, Cartesian geometry, algebraic calculus, elementary trigonometry)
Teaching Methods
Lessons, exercises and practices by means of numerical and graphical simulations with the aim of a suitable numerical and symbolic mathematical software
