Objectives
THE COURSE PRESENTS THE BASIC ELEMENTS OF MATHEMATICS. THE EDUCATIONAL AIMS OF THE COURSE CONSIST IN THE ACQUISITION OF THE RESULTS AND DEMONSTRATION TECHNIQUES, AS WELL AS IN THE ABILITY OF USING THE RELATED CALCULATION TOOLS.
STUDENTS WILL HAVE AT THEIR DISPOSAL MATHEMATICAL TOOLS THAT ARE FUNDAMENTAL FOR A SUITABLE QUANTITATIVE APPROACH FOR THE BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL ISSUES THAT WILL BE ADDRESSED DURING THE DEGREE COURSE. STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO APPLY THE QUANTITATIVE LEARNED INSTRUMENTS TO SOLVE SOME CLASSICAL PROBLEMS WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF ECONOMICS AND FINANCIAL CHOICES.

TOTAL LECTURE/ PRACTICE/LABORATORY HOURS 26/34/0
Teaching Methods
THE TEACHING CONSISTS OF FRONTAL LECTURES FOR A TOTAL OF 26 HOURS AND CLASSROOM EXERCISE SESSIONS FOR A TOTAL OF 34 HOURS.
THE FREQUENCY OF CLASSROOM LECTURES AND EXERCISES, WHILE NOT REQUIRED, IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED IN ORDER TO OBTAIN FULL ACHIEVEMENT OF THE LEARNING OBJECTIVES.
Verification of learning
WITH REGARD TO THE LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE TEACHING, THE FINAL EXAM AIMS TO EVALUATE: THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPTS PRESENTED DURING THE THEORETICAL LECTURES AND THE CLASSROOM EXERCISE SESSIONS; THE MASTERY OF THE MATHEMATICAL LANGUAGE IN WRITTEN AND ORAL TESTS; THE SKILL OF PROVING THEOREMS; THE SKILL OF SOLVING EXERCISES; THE ABILITY TO IDENTIFY AND APPLY THE BEST AND EFFICIENT METHODS IN EXERCISES SOLVING; THE ABILITY TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE TO DIFFERENT CONTEXTS FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE LESSONS.
THE EXAM NECESSARY TO ASSESS THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE LEARNING OBJECTIVES CONSISTS IN A WRITTEN TEST, PRELIMINARY WITH RESPECT TO THE ORAL EXAMINATION, AND IN AN ORAL TEST.
THE WRITTEN TEST CONSISTS IN SOLVING PROBLEMS IMPLEMENTED ON THE BASIS OF WHAT HAS BEEN PROPOSED IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE THEORETICAL LECTURES AND EXERCISE SESSIONS. SUCH A WRITTEN TEST, THAT THE STUDENT WILL HAVE TO FACE IN TOTAL AUTONOMY, WILL LAST 2 AND HALF HOURS
IN THE CASE OF A SUFFICIENT WRITTEN PROOF, IT WILL BE EVALUATED THROUGH QUALITATIVE SCALES (RANGES OF MARKS).
THE INTERVIEW IS DEVOTED TO EVALUATE THE DEGREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THE TOPICS OF THE TEACHING, AND WILL COVER DEFINITIONS, THEOREMS PROOFS, EXERCISES SOLVING.
THE FINAL MARK, EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS (EVENTUALLY CUM LAUDE), WILL DEPEND ON THE RANGE OF MARKS OF THE WRITTEN TEST, WITH CORRECTIONS IN EXCESS OR DEFECT ON THE BASIS OF THE ORAL TEST.
