Syllabus
Course Objectives
At the end of the course the student will master the main methods and techniques of mathematical analysis. In particular, she/he will be able to:
1. compute limits and derivatives, use these tools to study the behavior of real functions of one real variable and then draw a qualitative graph;
2. use the main techniques for the determination of the primitive of a function and then compute definite integrals;
3. use the basic notions of complex numbers and linear algebra;
4. apply linear algebra to the study of geometry in three dimensions.
In order to know the potential and limitations of the tools described above, the student will also have a full awareness of their theoretical foundations and will express them with an adequate language.

Course Prerequisites
1. Plane Euclidean geometry: in particular, triangle criteria for equality and similarity, Euclid and Pythagoras theorems, elementary properties of polygons and circles. One-to-one correspondence between real numbers and points on a line; intervals, half line; Cartesian plane; distance between two points in the plane. Elementary loci in the plane: line (parallelism and orthogonality conditions), circle. ellipse, parabola and hyperbola.
2. Equations and Inequalities of first and second degree. System of equations and inequalities.
3. Powers with integer exponent, properties of powers. Polynomials: divisibility, Ruffini rule, roots, factorization. Powers with rational and real exponent, graphs and main properties. Exponential and logarithmic function: graph and their main properties.
4. Irrationals equations and inequalities; equations and inequalities with exponentials, logarithms and absolute value.
5. Trigonometry: measure of angles in radiants; fundamental identity; graphs of sine, cosine and tangent. Equations and inequalities with trigonometric functions.
6. Real function of one real variable: domain, codomain, graph; intersection between graphs. Absolute value function; graphs of f(-x), di f(|x|), di |f(x)|, di f(x+c), di f(x)+c. Even, odd and periodic functions.

Teaching Methods
The teaching is composed by lectures and exercises (for a total amount of 72 hours), and tutoring (18 hours). In all three activities the student is encouraged to participate with suggestions and proposals. If remote or blended teaching is necessary, some changes will be introduced, also for the exams.
Assessment Methods
The exam aims to verify the achievement by students of the educational objectives described above. In particular:
- mastery of the methods and techniques developed;
- awareness of their theoretical foundations;
- appropriateness of the language used.
The exam can be taken only by students who have fulfilled their OFA in mathematics. It consists of two parts, a practical one and a theoretical one. The mark takes into account the correctness, clarity and the ability to justify the conclusions. In alternative to the examination procedure described above, as far as the practical part is concerned, students can take the exam with two half-period tests. Even students that have not satisfied their OFA in mathematics can access the first test. Instead, the access to the second test (which takes place the same day of the full exam in January or in February) requires to have fulfilled the OFA.
