| Educational objectives | Knowledge of mathematical language and a suitable mastery of foundamental concepts of differential calculus and linear algebra. Basic knowledge for a correct comprehension and application of statistics to bio-medical sciences. |
| Prerequisites | No prerequisites except the basic knowledge of arithmetic and algebra. |
| Teaching methods | The course is organized as follows: -lectures on all subjects of the course -exercises in classroom. |
| Learning verification modality | The examination is divided in two phases: a) A written exam of one hour. The written test includes the solution of two exercises on topics covered in the program and is designed to verify the ability to correctly apply the theoretical knowledge, the understanding of the exercises proposed and the ability to communicate in writing language. The student must justify explicitly the used techniques with theoretical recalls. Valuation: from 0 to 30. b) Oral examination of more or less 20 minutes. The oral test is designed to assess the level of knowledge and the understanding reached by the student on the contents listed in the program, this test is also used for verifying the presentation skills of the student. In this oral examination, taking into account the outcome of the previous part, it establishes the final score of the module. |
