| Educational objectives | Matematica 1 is a basic course of Calculus (one variable) with elements of Numerical Calculus. Together with Matematica 2 has the task to provide the mathematical skills needed to face the studies of Mechanical Engineering. The main objective of the course is to provide basic knowledge in the following areas: - Differential and integral calculus for functions of one variable - Polynomial approximation - Approximate solution of equations (both numerical and differential) - Data fitting - Numerical integration - Mathematical modeling with basic tools (both discrete and continuous models). The main skills is to understand the fundamental role of calculus in the modeling of phenomena and / or real situations. In particular, the students will become familiar with the two key concepts of optimization and balance and their applications in various |

The main skills is to understand the fundamental role of calculus in the modeling of phenomena and / or real situations. In particular, the students will become familiar with the two key concepts of optimization and balance and their applications in various fields, mainly of industrial engineering. |
| Teaching methods | Mathematics 1 is a challenging and intensive course (12 CFU - thirteen weeks). In order to follow the lessons in a profitable way, it is essential to have a good preparation on the basic knowledge (see list below). Basic knowledge. Algebra of polynomials. Elements of analytic geometry on the plane. Elements of goniometry and trigonometry. Elementary functions and their inverse or partial inverse. Transformations of a function (translation and rescaling) and effect on the graph. Elementary equations and inequalities |
| Other information | The course is organized as follows: - Classroom lectures on all topics of the course - Exercises in the classroom with student involvement - Two written exercises in the classroom to simulate the written exam. |
| Learning verification modality | The exam includes a written test and an oral interview. The written exam is divided into two consecutive stages A and B. Phase A - 2 hours type: resolution of (three or four) problems; the use of textbooks, manuals, graphic-symbolic calculator (strictly off-line) is allowed; objective: to assess the knowledge and the skills of application type. It will be particularly appreciated not only the correctness of the calculation procedures, but also the quality of the arguments used to support the anwer. Phase B - 1 hour type: some open questions, is not allowed the use of any support; verification of knowledge and argumentative demonstration. Interview - 20-30 minutes objective: assessing the communication skills of the student. Timing: the date of the written tests are fixed; that of the interview can be agreed with the teacher For information on support services for students with disabilities and / or SLD visit the page http://www.unipg.it/disabilita-e-dsa |
