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 mathematical-physical models. Course topics are: the differential calculus in one variable and first hints of integral calculus; its concepts, tools and modeling instances; linear algebra analyzed from a geometrical point of view.

BoringhieriType 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.Attendance
Students must attend at the least the 75% of lessons to be admitted to the final examType of evaluation
The student assessment involves a written and an oral exam. Some tests during the course are also planned. The written exam (1,5-2 hours) consists of 5 or 6 questions to assess students’ understanding of concepts and their autonomous application.
