Contribution of the course to the overall degree programme goals
The specific goal of this teaching is the formation of the knowledge and the skills concerning the theoretical and applicative basis of the differential and integral calculus in higher dimensions. The teaching will form the basis to deal with the mathematical models developed in the other courses of the Degree.
Expected learning outcomes
i) To know the basic concepts of advanced Mathematical Analysis.
ii) To know how to use differential calculus in multiple variables, to understand the concepts of limits, derivatives and integrals in multiple variables.
2. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding.
i) To know how to reason in a logical way and how to use mathematical symbolism in an appropriate way.
ii) To understand the mathematical analysis in multiple variables and to know how to set up a strategy to solve problems.
iii) To know how to recognize the role of mathematics in other sciences.
3. Ability to judge
i) Being able to evaluate the logical consistency of the results obtained, both in the theoretical field than in the case of concrete mathematical problems.
ii) Being able to recognize errors through a critical analysis of the method applied and through a control of the results obtained.
iii) To evalute the possibility of different approaches when solving mathamtical problems.
4. Communication skills
i) To know how to communicate what have been learned by using an appropriate terminology, also in written form.
ii) To know how to interact with the teacher and with the classmates in a respectful and constructive way, by asking coherent questions and by proposing other ways to solve a problem.
5. Learning skills
i) To know how to take notes in an effective way, selecting and collecting information according to their importance and priority.
ii) To know how to consult the books given by the teacher, and to know how to identify alternative references, also through the interaction with the teacher.
iii) Being able to exploit the concepts learned to correctly perform a mathematical problem.

Assessment methods
The written test (5 exercises) will last three hours. The final grade of the written test will be defined by the sum of the grades of each exercise, which are explicitly marked next to each exercise, with a grade range for the single exercise ranging from 5 to 8. The maximum score achievable in the written test is 32.
The theoretical test, that will last 90 minutes, will consist of 3 theoretical questions (proofs, definitions, statements, applications) to be answered in a written form; the score of each question is 10, the answers will be eventually discussed with the teacher later after the correction of the test.
Those who have obtained at least 16/30 in the written test are admitted to the oral exam. The final evaluation will take into account the marks of the two tests (exercises and theory).
Teaching methods
Educational material will be found in the "moodle" platform.
