Mathematics

Base Knowledge

Mathematics  (high school).

Teaching Methodologies

It provided students with a theoretical support, throughout the semester, so that they can better follow the explanation of the subjects taught. The use of applied exercises requires students to closely monitor the progress of the subjects. The clarification of questions is done in time provided for the purpose or in time to be arranged. The NONIO platform is used in the transmission and organization of support to school materials as well as through interaction teacher / student and among students.

Learning Results

The main goal of mathematics is to direct the students in the study of complex numbers as well as the fundamental
concepts of differential and integral calculus, which will be useful in courses of specialty. More general
formulations of the various results are not presented, but rather essential to understand the basic concepts and to
understand the relation between the various concepts. It highlighted the close link between the theory and the
practice of differential and integral calculus, appealing to intuition as the main source of mathematical creation, but
without losing in accuracy and precision.
