Students should be comfortable with most of the topics on mathematical calculus covered in:
Extra-lessons refreshing such notions may be planned in the first part of the course.
The following are mandatory text books:
There are no mid-terms. The exam consists of a written part and an oral part. The written part consists of exercises on the topics of the course. Each question is assigned a grade, summing up to 30 points. Students are admitted to the oral part if they receive a grade of at least 18 points. Written exam consists of open questions and exercises. Example written texts: sample1, sample2. Oral consists of critical discussion of the written part and of open questions and problem solving on the topics of the course.
Online exams: during the COVID-19 restrictions, the written part and the oral part will be online. For the written part, students will connect to a reserved Teams virtual room and will activate both microphone and web-cam. The text will be shared in the virtual room chat. Solutions will be written on sheet of papers. Each sheet will include name, surname, student id, and it will be signed. A photo of the sheets will be delivered to ruggieri [at] di [dot] unipi [dot] it at the end of the written part.
Registration to exams is mandatory (beware of the registration deadline!): register here
