Learning objectives
The teaching aids to student provides the basic notion of mathematical analisys and descriptive statistics to enable them to develop skills in data processing and modeling. One of the main aims of the course is to develop the ability to analyze the behavior of a real variable function, determining its graph in a system of Cartesian axes through the basic elements of the differential calculation. Another important educational objective pursued by the course is that of acquiring the basic skills in the elaboration of experimental data by introducing the commonly used statistical descriptors.
Expected learning outcomes
The student must know the main notions of mathematical analysis in relation to the study of a real function; in particular the student must know the meaning of domain of a fiction, of continuity of a function in an interval and of derivative of a function in a point. Furthermore the student must demonstrate to know the main statistical descriptors that allow to interpret a series of experimental data. The student must be able to interpret the progress of a function and must be able to describe a series of experimental data on a statistical level. Through the use of acquired notions, he must be able to interpret the tendency of the behavior of variables object of his research.
