Teaching methods
During the lectures will be offered arguments, with by examples and applications.
Assessment methods and criteria
The examination consists of an interview aimed
to assess the level of knowledge and understanding acquired on the topics of teaching, and the student's ability to present them in such a way
mathematically correct and to communicate them to others. The final evaluation
is expressed by a single vote for the examination as a whole.
