Teaching methods

Lessons with theory and exercises by means of blackboard and videoprojector.

Assessment methods

First a written final examination, in order to show the ability of solving e.g. Fourier series and partial differential equations, and then a discussion about some of the principal arguments of theory developed during the lessons, with particular attention to the methodological approach.

Teaching tools

Video projector.
