To provide the conceptual and methodological tools for finding information transmitted by the formalized and deductive language of mathematics.
To provide the fundamentals of mathematical analysis and plane geometry oriented towards the understanding of the physical-mathematical models.
Course topics are: the differential and integral calculus in one variable; its concepts, tools and modeling instances; linear algebra analyzed from a geometrical point of view; abstract theory and its geometric interpretation in two and three dimensions.

Type of delivery of the course
The course is organized in lectures and exercise class. Lectures on different subjects starts with several examples then general cases followed by definitions, theorems and proofs. The subject is presented from a geometrical and analytical point of view with a modeling description. Part of the lectures is on exercises made by singular students or divided in small groups. During exercise classes we give some exercises and problems, let the students try to solve them then we discuss the solution and, if necessary, we give the full solution at the blackboard. Some of the exercise classes are dedicated to hands-on activities with the use of paper and other materials or a computer for visualization. In case of an extension of the health emergency from COVID-19, all the provisions that regulate the methods of carrying out the teaching activities and student assessment will be implemented.Attendance
Attendance at the course is mandatory for 75%Type of evaluation
The student assessment involves a written and an oral exam. Some tests during the course are also planned. The written exam (2,5-3 hours) consists of 5 or 6 exercises to assess students understanding of concepts and their autonomous application. Some past written exams are available at the course web page http://www.formulas.it/sito/corsi/istituzioni-di-matematiche-i/ In case of an extension of the health emergency from COVID-19, all the provisions that regulate the methods of carrying out the teaching activities and student assessment will be implemented. In particular the student assessment will be organized through an oral exam concerning the program of the course. teacher profile teaching materials
