| Contents | Introduction to Information Tecnology; word processors; worksheets. Application to elements of descriptive statistics: graphic representation of data. Definition of frequency distribution. Definition of the midpoints and of the spread measures of a frequency distribution. Concepts of regression and correlation. Application to elements of probability: events, conditioned events, random variables. Concepts of conditioned probability. Examples of most used distributions. |
| Reference texts | Helps on line and installante of the teacher |
| Educational objectives | The course has the goal to learn the use of word processors and worksheets, with the application to the concepts and the basic methodologies of descriptive statistics and probability. |
| Prerequisites | No precondition is required. Any experience on the use of personal computer can be useful. |
| Teaching methods | Lectures with the help of personal computers and individual exercises assiste |
| Learning verification modality | The assessment will be made through a written exam, whose aim is to verify the student's knowledge about the use of a spreadsheet and a text editor.During the course there are two exemptions concerning the two topics separately.If the student is successful in both two exemptions is exempt from the final exam.The first exemption is provided in the middle of the course and the second at the end of the course. The duration of each test will be about 1 hour. The final assessment is the average of the marks obtained in the two exemptions or in the final test. |
| Extended program | Through the use of Libre Office the program includes: the use of the spreadsheet for data entry and processing, insertion of library functions, insertion of logical functions and graphs for applications of descriptive statistics concepts and calculation of probability and for calculation of formulas mathematics; use text editor to format a text, introduce titles, tables, images and hyperlinks; use of the formula tool for writing mathematical formulas. |

| Contents | Basic concepts of Mathematics. Matrix Calculus for functions in one variable: limit calculus; continuity, derivability. Integral calculus. |
| Reference texts | Paolo Marcellini, Carlo Sbordone : Elementi di Calcolo - Versione semplificata per i nuovi corsi di laurea, Ed. Liguori |
| 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. Moreover, to solve simple problems arising in applications. |
| 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 52 hours of lessons. |
| Other information | The beginning and the end of the lectures calendar is available at https://www.fisgeo.unipg.it/fisgejo/index.php/it/didattica/corsi-di-laurea-in-geologia/laurea-triennale-g/orario-lezioni-tg.html Classroom will be announced at the beginning of semester. Frequency not mandatory, but highly recommended. Visit the webpage https://www.unistudium.unipg.it/unistudium/ for useful informations and additional material such as lessons slides, extra exercises. Don't miss class. Ask questions. Go to office hours as often as necessary. During the written exam are banned mobile phones, computers, tablets, 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 tests with open answer questions. The final exam test has a duration of no more than three 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 that, in case of a positive evaluation, dispense the student to do the final exam. |
| Extended program | Functions in one variable: domain, elementary functions, continuity, composition and inversion of a function. Limit calculus: definition of limit, algebra of limits, asymptotes. Derivatives and integrals. Matrix calculus: definition of matrices, determinant, rank, solving methods of linear systems. |
