Learning objectives
The course object is to supply the students with knowledge and understanding of limits, differential calculus and integral calculus for real functions of one real variable, EDO and elements of mathematical statistic. Give to them the competence to treat and apply these instruments.
Objects of the course are also : judgement independence, strong written and oral communication skills, learning ability, in accordance with the specific objects of the mathematical area.
Prerequisites
Abilty to hand mathematical expressions and to resolve mathematical equalities and inequalities.
Course unit content
Basic notions of set theory and mathematical logic. Real numbers. Real functions of a real variable and their properties. Limit, continuity and Riemann integral. ODE. Brief introduction to Statistic theory.

Teaching methods
The teaching consists in frontal lessons where both theoretical and applicable aspects are expounded. The exercises are programmed in order to they can solve independently the problems arising from the theoretical lessons.
Assessment methods and criteria
The understanding check consists in a final written (test and, if it will be positive (his mark is greater or equal to 18/30) in an oral discussion. In both the tests the student has to demonstrate knowledge, comprehension and to be able to connect knowledge and comprehension about limits, differential calculus and integral calculus for real functions of one real variable, ODE and elements of mathematical statistic. The written test consists in 5 or 6 open questions regarding the above arguments.
The marks will be attributed considering : the accuracy of the exposition and the operating methods.
The mark of every test has to be greater or equal to 18/30.
The final exam will be considered sufficient if the average of the total amount of the written and oral tests is greater or equal to 18/30.
