Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to provide the capability of the student to face both theoretical and practical problems in Mathematical Analysis, referring to the analysis of the behavior of a real function of a real variable, computation of definite integrals, development of a function in power series.

Assessment methods

Written examination of 2 hours, where is possible to use calculators and books. The exam is completed by an oral examination if the written examination is satisfactory. The aim of the exam is to detect the capability of the student to face both theoretical and practical problems in Mathematical Analysis. The written examination can be divided, for the first call, in to two partial examinantion and is composed by multiple choice questions and solution of exercises. 

Evaluation scheme
18-19-E: minimal preparation and ability to analyze, relating to only instrumental mastery of problems presented in the course, correct use of methods at elementary level only after instructor's directions;
20-23-D: sufficient preparation and ability to analyze, but related to an only instrumental mastery of the problems presented in the course, correct and autonomous use of the methods at an elementary level;
24-27-C: technically adequate preparation but with some limits with respect to the topics dealt with, good analytical skills, even if not particularly articulated, correct use of the methods at an intermediate level;
28-29-B: technically adequate preparation with respect to the topics dealt with, good analytical skills in complex problems, correct use of methods at standard level
30-A: excellent and very thorough and exhaustive knowledge of the topics covered in the course, full mastery of methods.
30L-A+: excellent and very deep and exhaustive knowledge of the topics dealt with in the course, full mastery of the methods also from a theoretical point of view.

If the written test is insufficient in a non-serious way, it will be possible, within one week of the publication of the results, to integrate it through targeted exercises.
In the case of an online exam, the teacher will provide a Dropbox link for downloading the text and one for uploading, where the student will have to upload a pdf file with the grid of the answers given and the solution of the proposed problems.


Teaching tools

Video beamer and traditional blackboard.  Computer algebra to illustrate important topics.

The teaching material presented in class will be made available to the student in electronic format through the university's institutional portal. Username and password are reserved for students enrolled at the University of Bologna.

Office hours can be delivered using Teams
