Course description

The aim of this course is to learn analitic algebra and analitic geometry topics. A further aim is to apply these techniques in other scientific disciplines.

Learning outcomes (declined compared with the Dublin descriptors)

-Knowledge and understanding. Knowledge of analitic algebra and analitic geometry topics. The student will be able to state and prove basic theorems.

-Ability to apply knowledge and understanding. The ability to understand the problems proposed during the course, the ability to correctly apply the theoretical knowledge. The student will be able to study of the graphs of elementary functions, to solve integration problems of elementary character, to discuss the nature of numerical sequences and series.

-Making judgments. Develop the ability to critically evaluate the problems and propose the most appropriate approach.

-Communication skills. Ability to report and present the results with a logical-deductive and synthetic exposition

-Ability to learn.Ability to develop, outline, summarize the contents.

Prerequisites

Elementary Algebra. Elements of Euclidean geometry. Elements of analytic geometry in the plane. First elements of mathematical logic : concepts , theorem , demonstration , role of examples and counterexamples.

Teaching Methods

Lectures, exercise sessions and homeworks.

Learning assessment

The objective of the exam is to check the level of achievement of the above-mentioned training objectives.

The exam is divided into two parts:

- a written test that aims to evaluate the ability to correctly use the theoretical knowledge acquired during the course to solve mathematical problems. The student who does not show sufficient mastery of the arguments is not admitted to the next test. The expected time is 2 hours.

- an oral test in which the ability to link and compare different aspects of the course will be evaluated.

The final vote takes into account the evaluation of both tests.

More information

Lectures are in Italian. The professor is fluent in English and is available to interact with students in English, also during the examination.

Visiting hours:

- Wednesday 11.15 - 13.15 (Betta)

- Friday 13:00-15:00 (Feo)

The students can send an e-mail to francesca.betta@uniparthenope.it and filomena.feo@uniparthenope.it
