Learning outcomes

At the end of the course, the student is able to work with real numbers, knows the algebraic calculation and the fundamental properties of the geometric figures. In particular, the student is able to: - use mathematical knowledge and technical tools at a good level; - set up and solve problems; - assimilate new concepts based on previous experience and knowledge. The student learns the main methods and basic tools of the quantitative study of collective phenomena. In particular, the student is able to: - interpret and critically evaluate statistical information (reading and understanding articles in magazines and / or specialized publications); - produce and process statistical data independently; - apply some tools of the statistical methodology for the description and quantitative study of biological and economic phenomena. The student learns the following basics of physics: the units of measurement, the general terminology and the basic principles, notions that also allow him to follow the courses of physiology.

Teaching methods

Students with special needs are invited to contact by email the professors of the different modules in order to illustrate them and better organize teaching and exams

Assessment methods

The student will have to take a written test for each module that composes the Integrated Course. The times and the modalities (in itinere tests or only final test), will be agreed with the students during the A.A. in order to facilitate its development.
