Lecture notes by the teachers - Educational objectives
- The course develops the basic elements of some mathematical models and discusses the related methodologies.
At the end of the course the student has acquired skills to understand the numerous applications in the various sectors of science and modern technology.
On the basis of the interests expressed by the students, the didactic potential of modeling with elementary tools will also be emphasized - Prerequisites
- Analysis I, Analysis II, Geometry I
- Teaching methods
- Lessons and tutorial
- Learning verification modality
- oral exam lasting about 45 minutes.
The interview, in addition to assessing the knowledge acquired, intends to evaluate the student's skills on mathematical modeling of reality.
Students will be encouraged to present their own insights into the topics of the course
