Learning objectives
The goal is to provide the students tools and methods in order to treat with limits, differential calculus and integral calculus for real functions of one real variable, ODE and elements of mathematical Statistic.
Also, judgement independence, strong written and oral communication skills, learning ability, in accordance with the specific objects of the mathematical area.
Prerequisites
Abilty to handle basic mathematical expressions and to deal with 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, differentiability, 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 selected so that the student will be able to solve independently many related problems arising from the theoretical lessons.
Assessment methods and criteria
Final written pretest (25min)+test(2h), and possibly in an oral discussion.
