Teaching methods

Given the preparatory nature of these teaching activities within the general context of the learning pathway, as a rule mainly intuitive analytical concepts will be presented without reference to the classical physical and mathematical developments which will, on the other hand, become the habitual and essential tools required by the students to tackle subsequent courses in the structural area.<br />
