Teaching, Attendance, Course Books and Assessment
- Teaching
Theory lectures and exercises, both face to face and online.
- Attendance
Although recommended, course attendance is not mandatory.
- Course books
Facchini, "Algebra e Matematica Discreta", Decibel Editrice, 2000.
S. Lang, "Linear Algebra" (second edition), UTM Springer-Verlag, 1989.
- Assessment
Written and oral exam.
- Disabilità e DSA
Le studentesse e gli studenti che hanno registrato la certificazione di disabilità o la certificazione di DSA presso l'Ufficio Inclusione e diritto allo studio, possono chiedere di utilizzare le mappe concettuali (per parole chiave) durante la prova di esame.
A tal fine, è necessario inviare le mappe, due settimane prima dell’appello di esame, alla o al docente del corso, che ne verificherà la coerenza con le indicazioni delle linee guida di ateneo e potrà chiederne la modifica.
Notes
The course is offered both face to face and online within the Laurea Degree Program in Applied Computer Science.
