Possibility of deepening and exercises on MyLab website from Pearson - Educational objectives
- To learn and understand basic notions for the analysis of elementary real functions and linear algebra. To learn the logical/mathematical formalism. To be able to fully understand graphics and formula.
- Prerequisites
- To be able to follow and understand the course it is mandatory:
- to be able to compute and manipulate equalities and inequalities of I and II degree;
- to manipulate algebraic expressions. - Teaching methods
- Standard lectures on all the subjects and explicit solutions of prototypical exercises to better understand the theoretical parts and to be able to face the written examination

- For students with Specific Learning Disorders and/or Disabilities please refer to the web page: http://www.unipg.it/disabilita-e-dsa
- Learning verification modality
- Written examinations designed to evaluate abilities to face and solve formal problems expressed in mathematical language.
The exam contains between 3 and 6 problems, depending on the difficulty of their solutions and on the exhaustiveness of the exam.
Each problem will have an explicit maximum score obtainable by a right and well explained solution.
The examination can be splitted in two partial parts for those who will follow the lectures, or be full for all the others.
Each examination should be completed before 2 hours.
Those who will receive a grade between 15 and 17, to pass the exam should pass a further written additional test. Exercises will be on subject and of the kind explained in the lectures.
