27210 - Mathematical Analysis 1

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course the student is familiar with the fundamental notions of the differential and integral calculus for functions of several variables and with related arguments (differential equations, linear integrals, etc). Moreover the student is able to use classical instruments from Mathematical Analysis in several different areas.

Course contents

Real and complex numbers. Metric spaces (basic theory): continuity. Elementary functions. Differential and integral calculus for real functions of one variable. Sequences and series. Taylor's series. Forier's series (basic theory). During the course we will solve several exercices, possibly with a special regard to astronomy.

Readings/Bibliography

The teacher will make available on the platform Virtuale, as a pdf file, the notes of Prof Venni, to which the course is largely inspired. These notes are sufficient for the preparation of the exam. Additional suggestions for the theory:

- M. Bertsch - R. Dal Passo - L. Giacomelli, Analisi Matematica, McGraw-Hill (this book contains both Analysis 1 and 2, and is very well organised).

- C.D. Pagani - S. Salsa, Analisi Matematica 1, Masson, Milano

 

Concerning the exercises, the teacher will make available on Virtuale different tests of the past years, with the solutions or traces of the solutions. If desired, students can also practice the following books:

- M. Bramanti- Esercitazioni di Analisi Matematica 1, Esculapio.

- Salsa - Squellati Esercizi di Analisi matematica 1, Zanichelli

Teaching methods

Lectures given by the Teacher.

All the work done in class is immediately made available on the platform Virtuale.

Assessment methods

Written test followed (if appropriate) by oral test. The written part last 3 hours. It is possible to keep for consultation

any type of paper material, NOT calculators or cell phones.

The written test in passed with a mark not less than 16/30.

The oral test is intended to verify the knowledge of the arguments explained in class. The student is supposed to know all the definitions and also the proofs of some major theorem.

The final mark is based on the results obtained in both the written and the oral tests.

Teaching tools

All the lectures given by the teacher are made available online on the platform Virtuale.
