Mathematical analysis.Thermodynamics. Chemistry

Course notes provided by the teacher and available on the public and shared DRIVE archive.

The course is delivered frontally with the help of SLIDES with a summary of the theoretical aspects and exercises

The student will have to answer about the theoretical aspects (one or two questions) and will have to perform an exercise of the same type of those presented and explained in class
