Objectives
THE AIM OF THE COURSE IS TO PROVIDE A SOLID UNDERSTANDING OF THE MATHEMATICAL PRINCIPLES UNDERLYING OTHER RELEVANT DISCIPLINES, SUCH AS CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS AND BIOLOGY. THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE KNOWLEDGE, IN A CONCISE AND SUITABLE FOR APPLICATIONS, THE MAIN MATHEMATICAL TOOLS NECESSARY TO CREATE MATHEMATICAL MODELS AND PERFORM STATISTICAL PROCESSING OF DATA.
Prerequisites
TO FOLLOW THE COURSE, THE STUDENT MUST HAVE KNOWLEDGE AND MASTERY OF THE FOLLOWING TOPICS.
FIRST AND SECOND DEGREE EQUATIONS AND INEQUALITIES; FRACTIONAL INEQUALITIES; IRRATIONAL INEQUALITIES.
EQUATION OF THE LINE, OF THE PARABOLA AND OF THE CIRCLE IN THE PLANE.
TRIGONOMETRY: MAIN RELATIONSHIPS.
PROPERTIES OF POWERS AND LOGARITHMS.
