Course syllabus and organization

Single session

Responsible
Lesson period
Second semester
Live lectures (on line) in the form of interactive lessons recorded and made available to students. MATLAB online laboratory.
Asynchronous lectures for deepen some topics. Blended Tutoring for teaching support.
Prerequisites for admission
Basics of Linear Algebra, Mathematical Analysis, Numerical Analysis
Assessment methods and Criteria
The final examination consists of two parts: an oral exam and a lab exam.
-The lab exam consists in developing a project and some exercises in the format of open-ended. The lab portion of the final examination serves to assess the capability of the student to put a problem of digital image processing into context, find a solution and to give a report on the results obtained.
- The oral exam can be taken only for the first module. In the oral exam, the student will be required to illustrate results presented during the course and will be required to solve problems regarding Computational and differential Geometry in order to evaluate her/his knowledge and comprehension of the arguments covered as well as the capacity to apply them. The student may choose instead to take one midterm exam.

The complete final examination is passed if all two parts (oral, lab) are successfully passed. Final marks are given using the numerical range 0-30, and will be communicated immediately after the two parts.
