Learning outcomes

The student acquires mathematical knowledge of more informative character, using a wide basic instrumentation to face the description of different physical phenomena. Specifically, at the end of the course, the student is able to: solve the problems of maximum or minimum constraints; Calculate simple integral functions of more variables; Calculate simple integral functions defined on surfaces. In particular, at the end of the course, the student is able to: - solve problems of maximum or minimum bounds; - to study the convergence of integrals in more variables; - surface integral calculations.

Assessment methods

The grading is split of several  written  preparatory parts and ends with a final colloquium. The candidate must collect in an exercise book all the exercises that the teacher has assigned during all the lessons of the course. The exercise book has to be written by hand by the candidate itself (no papers written on computers or photocopies or scansions are accepted).

In order to partecipate to the tests the students have to book themselves on the lists on AlmaEsami. The students can not partecipate to the tests without the inscriptions to the lists on AlmaEsami. The exam is splitter in 4 parts: A,B,C,D.

The "exercises part" is composed by tests A and test B.

The "theoretical part" is composed by tests C and D 

The duration of the parts A plus B is 2 hour overall. Tests A and B have to be solved together in the same day. 

The maximal score of the part A is 9. The maximal score of the part B is 10. The candidate is admitted to the part A only obtaining at least 4 points. The part B is sufficient only if the candidate obtain at least 6 points. 

Tests C and D have to be faced in the same day.

The students are admitted to the part C only if they have overcome the B test.

The C test is 45 minutes long during which the candidate has to reply  to three theoretical questions. The maximal score of part C is 5.

If the sums of tests, A,B,C is greater o equal to 15 the student is admitted to the final test D at the blackboard, where two questions are asked to the student. The range of the score of the D part is from -6 to +6. Some queries could also be posed about the assigned exercises. 

The final grade is the sum if the scores realized in the A,B,C and D tests, plus possibly 2 additional points if the candidate exercises book is correctly solved. 

Example of the test A+B

Example of the test C

Further details about the final exam may be found in the parallel italian page of the course. In any case the candidate may ask to the teacher all the clarification about the structure of the tests and their grade.

The teacher plans to schedule also two tests during the lessons called "in itinere" tests (tests during the lessons). The "in itinere" tests are alternative to the A and B tests (in this way the student may skip A anB tests) in order to be admitted to the "theoretical part" (always composed by C and D tests) at the end of the lessons. The structure and the score of "in itinere" tests are very similar to the A, B tests.  Further technical details can be found in the parallel italian version or asking to the teacher.
