Prerequisites for admission
Be familiar with the mathematical notions normally provided during the last year of high school. In particular it is necessary to know:
- the algebraic calculation (operations between monomials and polynomials, powers of polynomials, decomposition into prime factors, simplification of algebraic fractions, etc.);
- trigonometry;
This course does not include lessons dedicated to the mathematics topics listed above. Each student must take care to fill any gaps with personal study.

Assessment methods and Criteria
The learning assessment includes a written test and an oral test.
The written test is based on exercises. In the text the candidate has to choise the correct answer and to write the whole solution of each problem. The overcoming of the written text allows you to enter the next oral exam. The written test can include all the exercises of the type carried out during the lectures. During the written test the use of a pocket calculator is allowed but it is not allowed to consult notes or books.
The oral exam must be taken in the same exam session in which the written test was taken and passed.
The oral exam globally evaluates the competences acquired by the student and always includes a series of questions on each macro-area of the course contents.
The final grade will be in thirtieths.
