Mathematics Ii
A.Y. 2025/2026
Learning objectives
The aim of the course is to teach the basic mathematical language and tools that allow a student to formulate, understand and solve a problem in mathematical analysis. Such problems concern for example: sequences, differential calculus for the study of the graph and of local extremes of a function, the study of limits with Taylor expansions and integral calculus.
Expected learning outcomes
The student must be able to identify and apply the mathematical tools needed to solve concrete problems of mathematical analysis. He or she must also be able to justify the solutions to such problems through theory and to present them correctly.

Prerequisites for admission
There are no particular prerequisites except the basic notions of mathematics that are acquired in every high school. For example: ability to apply the elementary rules of algebra and arithmetic; familiarity with common numerical systems (natural, integer, rational and real); some elements of analytical geometry (Cartesian plane, lines, parabolas, hyperbolas, circles and ellipses); the properties of elementary functions (absolute value, polynomials, exponential and logarithm, trigonometric functions); equations and inequalities that involve such functions. It is advisable to have passed the exam of Mathematics I or at least to have learned its fundamental concepts. All the specific topics of the course are developed from the beginning without requiring previous knowledge by the student.
Teaching methods
Lectures and classwork. Notes and other material on MyAriel (lecture notes, link to the course Matematica Assistita, some quizes).

Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam consists of a written test where students will be asked to solve some exercises on the topics of the course and to answer questions about tthe theory. The written test lasts 2 hours.
The exam will be scored with a maximum of 30, and it is passed if the score is greater than or equal to 18/30.
The final results of the exam or the partial results of the midterms will be comunicated on SIFA via the UNIMIA portal.
More details on the exam can be found on the MyAriel website of the course.
