FUNDAMENTAL THEOREMS OF DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS. GRAPH OF A FUNCTION. MATRICES AND LINEAR SYSTEMS. VECTOR SPACES. LINEAR OPERATORS AND DIAGONALIZATION. ANALYTICAL GEOMETRY.
APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
BEING ABLE TO APPLY THEOREMS AND RULES IN PROBLEM SOLVING. BEING ABLE TO CONSISTENTLY BUILD PROOFS. BEING ABLE TO PERFORM CALCULATIONS WITH LIMITS, DERIVATIVES.
MAKING JUDGEMENTS
TO IDENTIFY THE BEST AND EFFICIENT METHOD TO SOLVE A MATHEMATICAL PROBLEM.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
ABILITY TO WORK IN GROUPS. ABILITY TO ORALLY PRESENT A TOPIC OF THE COURSE.
LEARNING SKILLS
BEING ABLE TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE TO DIFFERENT CONTEXTS FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE. SKILL TO DEEPEN THE TOPICS DEALT WITH BY USING MATERIALS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE.

Teaching Methods
THE COURSE COVERS THEORETICAL LECTURES, DEVOTED TO THE FACE-TO-FACE DELIVERY OF ALL THE COURSE CONTENTS , AND CLASSROOM PRACTICEDEVOTED TO PROVIDE THE STUDENTS WITH THE MAIN TOOLS NEEDED TO PROBLEM-SOLVING ACTIVITIES.
Verification of learning
THE FINAL EXAM IS DESIGNED TO EVALUATE AS A WHOLE:
•THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPTS PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE;
•THE MASTERY OF THE MATHEMATICAL LANGUAGE IN THE WRITTEN AND ORAL PROOFS;
•THE SKILL OF PROVING THEOREMS;
•THE SKILL OF SOLVING EXERCISES;
•THE SKILL TO IDENTIFY AND APPLY THE BEST AND EFFICIENT METHOD IN EXERCISES SOLVING;
•THE ABILITY TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE TO DIFFERENT CONTEXTS FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE.
THE EXAM CONSISTS OF A WRITTEN PROOF AND AN ORAL INTERVIEW.
WRITTEN PROOF: THE WRITTEN PROOF CONSISTS IN SOLVING TYPICAL PROBLEMS PRESENTED IN THE COURSE. IN THE CASE OF A SUFFICIENT PROOF, IT WILL BE EVALUATED BY THREE SCALES.
ORAL INTERVIEW: THE INTERVIEW IS DEVOTED TO EVALUATE THE DEGREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THE TOPICS OF THE COURSE, AND COVERS DEFINITIONS, THEOREMS PROOFS, EXERCISES SOLVING.
FINAL EVALUATION: THE FINAL MARK, EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS (EVENTUALLY WITH LAUDE), DEPENDS ON THE MARK OF THE WRITTEN PROOF, WITH CORRECTIONS IN EXCESS OR DEFECT ON THE BASIS OF THE ORAL INTERVIEW.
