Mathematics

The teaching aims to present some mathematical concepts and methods, with particular emphasis on developing the aspects of the discipline most useful for a real understanding of the topics covered in the teachings characterizing the whole course of study. Purpose of the teaching is letting the students acquire basic tools and notions of Mathematics, with special focus on the elementary mathematical analysis and an adequate theoretical understanding of the concerned topics, along with a proper ability to perform the involved computational procedures.
As further detailed below, knowledge and understanding are achieved through varied forms of teaching, such as lectures, exercise sessions and tutorials, and are verified through final written and, in some cases, oral tests.
The test evaluations also consider the ability to integrate knowledge acquired with the teachings attended during the first year of the course.

At the end of the course, the student will acquire a specific language for communicating what he/she has learned and basic notions introductory to the following professionalizing teachings.
Namely, he/she should be able to use the acquired knowledge, to formulate and solve in a rigorous manner application problems not only in Mathematics, but also in other fundamental teachings such as Physics, Chemistry and Biology and, in general, in a wide variety of contexts relevant to the Viticulture and Oenology graduate's jobs.
He/she should be familiar with basics of mathematical analysis, such as the field of existence, the continuity, the derivability and the study of the maximums and minimums of a function, the integration of a function, in order to solve a plurality of problems.
Finally, he/she will build up critical and judgment skills by analysing and evaluating specific problems with a generalization learning process, so that he/she can later approach on his/her own the study of new cases in various other fields than mathematics.Finally, he/she will build up critical and judgment skills by analysing and evaluating specific problems with a generalization learning process, so that he/she can later approach on his/her own the study of new cases in various other fields than mathematics.
