Overview
The aim of the class is to introduce the differential and integral calculus for real functions of several variables
and to approach the solution of some standard differential problems.
Admission requirements
- Differential calculus for real functions of real variables.
- Integral calculus for real functions of one real variable.
- First order linear differential equations.
- Preliminary notions of linear algebra.
Course contents
- Elements of linear algebra.
- Linear systems.
- Eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
- First order (systems of) linear or nonlinear differential equations.
- Vector fields, integral along curves and potentials.
- Irrotational fields.
- Multiple integrals.
- Eigenfunctions.
- Hints on the Schroedinger equation.
- Minima and maxima for two variables functions
Teaching methods
- Lectures in the classroom, with illustration of the content chapters by means of a blackboard.
Assessment methods
Examination: written and oral exam. The candidate must demonstrate a thorough knowledge of the course content, including frontal lessons and classroom activities.The verification is integral with respect to the course's content; it is also verified the student's ability to relate specific subject content with the knowledge listed as pre-requisite. The written exam lasts 2 hours in average. The oral exam consists in the correction of some of the exercises carried out in the written test and in the in-depth analysis of some topics treated during the course. The final score is expressed by averaging the evaluations received in the written and oral tests.
