Lessons and exercises conducted at the blackboard. Theoretical lectures aim to give the main notions of Mathematical Analysis I, through the introduction of the definitions and the theorems concerning the topics characterizing the program. All the arguments are presented with the aid of examples and counterexamples and in some cases the proofs of the theorems are proposed with all the details. Exercises aim to makes students able to apply the theoretical tools in order to solve independently practical problems. A part of exercises will be carried out by a co-teacher (see the corresponding form).

Courses attendance is optional and the teacher does not control the presence. However, due to the complexity of the matter, the attendance is highly recommended both to the theoretical and to the practical lectures, since this is a strong support for the individual work.

The exam is mainly written and is divided into two steps. The first one (over a period of half an hour) is made by a test with multiple-choice containing 13 questions of basic analysis; it is necessary to answer correctly to at least 9 questions. The second part (over a period of two hours and half) is composed by 4 standard exercises + 1 theory question. In order to be admitted to the second step the student has to pass the first one. Both parts of the written exam will take place in the same half-day. In the case where a further deepening of preparation is required, an oral examination shall be performed by the student. In order to pass the exams, students have to know the basic notions and how to solve simple exercises. In order to achieve a high score, students have to show to be sufficiently autonomous, to handle more advanced problems in Analysis. The evaluation procedure will be carried out with the aim to verify the achievement of the expected goals. The preliminary test (30 minutes), based on quite simple exercises deals with the specific objectives nr. 1 and 3. After the positive evaluation of the test and in the same day, the student faces a more structured written examination (2,5 hours). It consists of four practical problems and a theoretical question. It deals with all the specific objectives (nr. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). In order to pass the exam the student must get the grade 18/30; a basic achievement of the skill to solve the standard mathematical problems of a basic one-variable calculus course is required, togheter with the achievement of the specific objectives nr. 2 and 4 at a basic level and of those nr. 1, 3 and 5 at least at an intermediate level. In order to get the grade 30/30 e lode the student must prove the full achievement of the skill to solve the standard mathematical problems of a basic one-variable calculus course and of the of all the specific objectives (nr. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). The students may take the exam after the end of the course and the calendar is estabilished by the faculty.
