- Prerequisites
- Knowledge of the fundaments of mathematics from Secondary High School: First and second degree algebraic equations; Systems of Linear Equations, Inequalities. Basic knowledge of trigonometry and its elements. Derivatives and Integrals. Logarithms and Powers.
- Teaching methods
- Theoretical Lessons plus numerical practice
- Other information
- Exam sessions in the following periods: Jan 2021; Feb 2021; Jun 2021; Jul 2021; Sept 2021. The dates can be found in the department website
- Learning verification modality
- 120 minutes written exam followed by an oral exam.
The former will consist in answering to approximately 20 numerical problems and theoretical questions with a total achievable score of 30 points.
The latter will move from the discussion with the student of the written exam results and will then extend to the knowledge gained by the student. - Extended program
