| Educational objectives | At the end of the course the student is supposed to be able to handle with limits and derivatives and to study a function in one variable with the calculus of the domain, of asymptotes, maximizers and minimizers. |
| Prerequisites | In order to be able to understand and apply the techniques described within the course you must know basic concepts of Mathematics such as: natural, rational and real numbers; equations and inequalities of first and second degree; exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions. |
| Teaching methods | Face to face and practical training. The course consists in 42 hours of lessons. Accompaniment activities are planned, |

Frequency not mandatory, but highly reccomended. Don't miss class. Ask questions. Go to office hours as often as necessary. During the written exam are banned mobile phones, computers, iPods, etc.... |
| Learning verification modality | Capability of solving basic exercises, and to correctly answering to multiple choice tests on the above listed topics. The exams consists of a written test. At the end of the two modules will take place the final exam. The written test consists of the solution of some multiple choice tests and some tests with open answer questions. The final exam test has a duration of of no more than four hours. It is designed to evaluate the ability to correctly apply the theoretical knowledge and the understanding of the issues proposed. For the students of the first year course it is possible to do partial exams (multiple choice tests and tests with open answer questions) that, in case of a positive evaluation, despense the student to do a part of the final exam. |
| Extended program | Basic concepts of Mathematics: Sets, rational and real numbers, maximum and minimum, supremum and infimum. Exponential and logarithmic function. Sequences. Functions in one variable: domain, elementary functions, continuity, composition and inversion of a function. Limit calculus: definition of limit, algebra of limits, asymptotes. Differential Calculus: definition of derivative, calculus of derivative, derivative of the sum, of the product, of the quotient, of the composition and of the inverse. Mean value Theorem. Maximum and Minimum of a function. De l'Hospital Theorem. Derivative of second order: geometric meaning, convexity and concavity. |

| Educational objectives | At the end of the course the student is supposed to be able to handle with limits and derivatives and to study a function in one or two variables with the calculus of the domain, of asymptotes, maximizers and minimizers and integration of functions in one variable. |

Course informations see: https://www.unistudium.unipg.it/unistudium/ Classroom will be announced at the beginning of semester. Frequency not mandatory, but highly reccomended. These partial exams are reserved for students who have attended at least 75% of the course lessons . Don't miss class. Ask questions. Go to office hours as often as necessary.

For the students of the first year course it is possible to do partial exams (multiple choice tests and tests with open answer questions) that, in case of a positive evaluation, despense the student to do a part of the final exam. So, those who did not pass all partial exams conducted during the year with a grade> = 18 , MUST REPEAT the partial exams that were not sufficient in one of the official appeals, set out in Schedule Exams. The final grade will be calculated by averaging the first two parts (carried out in the in official exam's dates) and then the average between this result and the rating achieved in the three part of partial exam (carried out in the partial exams or in official exam's dates). Recall that each waiver (or part corresponding to an partial exam) program is evaluated in the following manner: 10 points for each correct answer; 0 points for each non-response; - 2 points for each wrong answer. If the end result is not enough, the student must repeat the entire exam EXCEPT THE PARTIAL EXAMS DURING THE YEAR which she/he has got a vote> = 18. These partial exams are reserved for students who have attended at least 75% of the course lessons . The partial exams with a vote> = 18 are valid until the last call of the session of January / February 2021. Students with DSA certification must submit the same at least two weeks prior to the test.
