Natural Sciences

Dublin Descriptors Knowledge and understanding: learning elementary techniques of the theory of integration and differential equations, and how to solve some basic examples; knowledge of basics of linear algebra and plane geometry with application to statistics. Applying knowledge and understanding: at the end of the course students will be able to compute simple integrals by parts or substitution, to solve simple differential equations and problems about lines and vectors in plane geometry, with some applications to statistics. Critical and judgmental skills: at the end of the course students will have learned the basic ideas of the theory of integration and of differential equations, and some algebraic and geometrical tools needed to understand and express basic concepts of physics and statistics in the appropriate mathematical language. Communication skills: ability of exposition with clarity, also in written form, of notions, theorems and methods learned during the course. Learning skills: the acquired knowledge will allow the students to undertake successfully the subsequent study of more technical notions of mathematical analysis, physics and statistics.
