Objectives
THE COURSE HAS THE OBJECTIVE OF REVIEWING THE BASIC CONCEPTS OF MATHEMATICS IN A CRITICAL MANNER.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: KNOWING THE REASONS WHICH HAVE LED TO THE BIRTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF NOTIONS WHICH ARE AT THE BASE OF MATHEMATICS. IN PARTICULAR, THE ROLE OF MATHEMATICS IS ANALYZED AS A GLUE AMONG THE TWO CULTURES

Teaching Methods
THE COURSE IS DIVIDED IN FRONTAL LESSONS HELD BY THE TEACHER (2 CFU), PRESENTATION OF SHORT SEMINARS HELD BY STUDENTS ON THEMES AGREED WITH THE TEACHER (3 CFU), CREATION OF WORKING GROUPS THAT DEVELOP AND ARTICULATE SEMINARS TO BE PROPOSED IN THE DIFFERENT CONFERENCES "MATHEMATICS AND.." AND .. WHICH ARE CARRIED OUT AT THE MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT EVERY YEAR (1 CFU).
Verification of learning
THE ASSESSMENT WILL BE CARRIED OUT BY MEANS OF AN ORAL EXHAMINATION. DURING THE EXAMINATION, KNOWLEDGE OF THE MATHEMATICAL CONTENT OF THE ARGUMENTS, CAPABILITY TO EXPOSE THEM IN A CRITICAL MANNER AND TO CONTEXTUALIZE THEM IN THE HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT WILL BE EVALUATED.
