The course belongs to the core educational activities on Mathematics, Physics and Statistics. The Course aims to provide students with theoretical and applied fundamentals about differential calculus. Particular focus is dedicated to mathematical models that are useful in life sciences applications
To be able to study a function of a real variable.

Knowledge and understanding
- limit computation;
- derivative computation;
- study of the first derivative of a function;
- study of the second derivative of a function.

Applying knowledge
- for the study of a function;
- for mathematical modeling of simple environmental phenomena;
- for finding domain and co-domain of a function;
- for finding minima, maxima, points of inflexion, asymptotes of a function.
