Although there are no mandatory prerequisites for this exam, students are strongly recommended to take it after Discrete Structures and Linear Algebra.

It is also worth noticing that the topics covered by this course will be used  in Algorithms and Data Structures, Digital Signal and Image Processing, Physics I and Probability and Statistics.

Teaching

Theory lectures and exercises, both face-to face and on-line.

Attendance

Although recommended, course attendance is not mandatory.

Course books

Lupini, "Matematica" parte 1 e parte 2, Quattroventi, 2005.

Bramanti, Pagani, Salsa, "Matematica", Zanichelli, 2000.

Thomas, Finney, "Calculus and Analytic Geometry", Addison Wesley Publishing Company, 1998.

Assessment

Written and oral exam.

The written exam is passed if the mark (which is valid for the exam calls of the same academic year) is at least 18/30. The oral exam, which must be taken if the written exam is passed, determines a spread between -12/30 and 12/30 of the previous mark, thus yielding the final mark. There are no limitations to the number of trials per session per year.

Disability and Specific Learning Disorders (SLD)

Students who have registered their disability certification or SLD certification with the Inclusion and Right to Study Office can request to use conceptual maps (for keywords) during exams.

To this end, it is necessary to send the maps, two weeks before the exam date, to the course instructor, who will verify their compliance with the university guidelines and may request modifications.

The course is offered both face-to-face and on-line within the Laurea Degree Program in Applied Computer Science.
