Objectives
1.KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THIS COURSE WILL PROVIDE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF THE DISCRETE STRUCTURES, WITH EMPHASYS ON APPLICATIONS. STUDENTS WILL GET USED TO FORMALIZE PROBLEMS PROPERLY AND TO THINK STRICTLY.
2.APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: COURSE AIM IS ALSO TO ENABLE STUDENTS TO SOLVE SIMPLE PROBLEMS AND EXERCISES APPLYING THE ACQUIRED THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE. IN PARTICULAR, STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO PERFORM SET AND MATRICES OPERATIONS, TO FIND CORRESPONDENCES, APPLICATIONS, ORDINGS AND LATTICES, EQUIVALENCE RELATIONS, PARTITIONS, ALGEBRAIC STRUCTURES AND SUBSTRUCTURES, TO USE THE EUCLIDEAN ALGORITHM AND THE INDUCTION PRINCIPLE, TO SOLVE SYSTEMS OF LINEAR AND CONGRUENTIAL EQUATIONS, TO DETERMINE BASES AND DIMENSION OF A VECTOR SPACE, CARTESIAN AND PARAMETRIC EQUATIONS OF LINES AND PLANES IN THE EUCLIDEAN SPACE.
STUDENTS WILL GAIN KNOWLEDGE THAT MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO LEARN MORE ADVANCED MATHEMATICAL ARGUMENTS, POSSIBLY USED BY OTHER SCIENCES.
Prerequisites
THE KNOWLEDGE OF BASIC MATHEMATICAL TOPICS COVERED IN HIGH SCHOOL COURSES IS REQUIRED.

Teaching Methods
THIS COURSE CONSISTS ON THEORETICAL LESSONS AND EXERCITATIVE LESSONS. DURING THEORETICAL LESSONS STUDENTS LEARN BASIC NOTIONS AND SEVERAL TECHNIQUES TO PROVE RESULTS. DURING EXERCITATIVE LESSONS STUDENT LEARN HOW THE GAINED THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE MAY BE USED TO SOLVE SIMPLE PROBLEMS.
Verification of learning
THE EXAM CONSISTS OF A WRITTEN TEST, AFTER WHICH STUDENTS CAN GO TO AN ORAL EXAMINATION. WILL BE EVALUATED THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TOPICS OF THE THEORY CLASSES, BUT ALSO THE ABILITY TO APPLY THEM TO SOLVE PROBLEMS OF ELEMENTARY TYPE.
