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.

Teaching methods

Lessons ex cathedra using also video beamer. Homework. Computer algebra will also be employed to support thoretical arguments.

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.

Teaching tools

Video beamer and 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.

The teacher responds to e-mail messages, duly signed by the student with Name, Surname and matriculation number, and which concern appointment requests or topics that are not covered by the course information presented here.
