ANALISI MATEMATICA I

The aim of the course of Analisi Matematica I is to give the basic skills real and complex numbers,
differential and integral calculus for real functions of one real variable.
In particular, the learning objectives of the course, according to the Dublin descriptors, are:

1. Knowledge and understanding: The student will learn some basic concepts of Mathematical
   Analysis and will develop both computing ability and the capacity of manipulating some common
   mathematical structures, as complex numbers, limits, derivatives and integrals for real functions of
   one real variable, numerical series.
2. Applying knowledge and understanding: The student will be able to apply the acquired
   knowledge in the basic processes of mathematical modeling of classical problems arising from
   Physics.
3. Making judgements: The student will be stimulated to autonomously deepen his/her knowledge
   and to carry out exercises on the topics covered by the course. Constructive discussion between
   students and constant discussion with the teacher will be strongly recommended so that the
   student will be able to critically monitor his/her own learning process.
4. Communication skills: The frequency of the lessons and the reading of the recommended books
   will help the student to be familiar with the rigor of the mathematical language. Through constant
   interaction with the teacher, the student will learn to communicate the acquired knowledge with
   rigor and clarity, both in oral and written form. At the end of the course the student will have
   learned that mathematical language is useful for communicating clearly in the scientific field.
5. Learning skills: The student will be guided in the process of perfecting his/her study method. Inparticular, through suitable guided exercises, he/she will be able to independently tackle new topics, recognizing the necessary prerequisites to understand them.

The concepts and methods covered by the course will be presented through lectures. For each topic the teacher will carry out an adequate number of exercises. To develop independent judgment and communication skills, and to make participation in lessons more active and fruitful, guided exercises will be held in a few hours, in which various exercises will be proposed. Students will be able to work individually or in groups and confront each other.

If the course is delivered in blended or remote mode, appropriate adjustments may be

made to the above, in order to ensure consistency with the syllabus.

The exam aims to verify the achievement of the expected learning outcomes, with particular emphasis on knowledge of fundamental theoretical concepts and the ability to apply them to solving typical electronic engineering problems.

The exam consists of a two-hour written test and a subsequent oral exam.

The written exam is divided into two parts: – Part A (theory): 2 definitions. Minimum requirement: correctly answer at least 1 definition. – Part B (exercises): 4 exercises. Minimum requirement: correctly answer at least 2 exercises.

The oral exam covers the entire course syllabus. It can be taken after passing the written exam and allows students to improve their grade. An insufficient performance may result in a reduction in the written grade or, in the most serious cases, the exam being cancelled.

Learning assessment may also be carried out on-line, should the conditions require it.

To ensure equal opportunities and in compliance with current laws, interested 

students may request a personal interview in order to plan any compensatory

and/or dispensatory measures based on educational objectives and specific needs.

Students can also contact the CInAP (Centro per l’integrazione Attiva e Partecipata — 

Servizi per le Disabilità e/o i DSA) referring teacher within their department
