Learning objectives
The course is aimed at rigorously providing the basic tools of Mathematical Analysis, in order to provide the basic tools to tackle theoretical and applied problems, which are essential to successfully attend a university undergraduate program in a scientific area.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course students should prove to have a sufficient knowledge of basic mathematics (set theory, real and complex numbers, elementary functions). Moreover students will be required to deepen the basic results in the theory of differential and integral calculus for functions of one real variable. One of the main skills which will be tested is the application of the theoretical results to solve elementary problems and exercises concerning topics presented in the course.

Course syllabus
The annual course of Continuum Mathematics rigorously presents some classical topics of Mathematical Analysis which are a necessary prerequisite to any scientific degree.
-Preliminary practical aspects of Mathematics: review of elementary functions and their use in solving equations and inequalities.
-Preliminary theoretical aspects of Mathematics: set theory, sup/inf of a set, cardinality
-Complex numbers
-Sequences of real numbers
-Series of real numbers
-Real functions
-Limits and continuity
-Derivatives and differentiability
-Riemann Integral

Assessment methods and Criteria
Written exam composed by exercises and theoretical questions on the topics developed during the course. The evaluation ranges out of thirty and is aimed at verifying the understanding of the theoretical notions and their application in specific cases of study.
The use of notes, books or calculator is not allowed during the exam.
The duration of the written test is commensurate with the number and structure of the assigned exercises, but in any case will not exceed 3 hours. Results will be communicated on the SIFA through the UNIMIA portal.
