Energy Engineering

Educational objectives

The Chemistry course has an irreplaceable educational importance for all the Faculties with Scientific or
Technical address.
The goal that arises in this course is to explain the topics of general chemistry, both in experimental and
theoretical aspects, along with the fundamentals of inorganic chemistry and some mention of organic
chemistry.The student will acquire the ability to interconnect with the topics related phenomena to the behavior of
matter and materials, with reference to vocational.
The student will be enabled to understand and evaluate the chemistry, thermodynamics and structure of
matter connected with the teachings of the subsequent degree course.

Educational objectives

Basics in linear algebra and geometry. Linear systems and their geometrical interpretation for 2 or 3 unknowns. Familiarity with rigorous reasoning, with numerical and symbolic calculus, with the analysis of problems using an optimal strategy. Familiarity with vectors and matrices, and with geometrical entities in 2 or 3 dimensions in connection with equations of degree 1 or 2. Understanding of linear applications and, in particular, of diagonalisation.Risultati di apprendimento attesi (Inglese): I expect constant learning as the course goes on; learning will be increased by tutorials and tests. Little difficulties can be solved also by an email contact. Although the beginning may be difficult, mostly due to faults in the mathematical background, after the first impact - in several cases after the first or second written examination - one expects a neat improvement.

Educational objectives

Purpose of this course is to introduce the basic concepts of Differential and Integral Calculus for functions of one variable and the elementary theory of Ordinary Differential Equations. These issues are crucial to the understanding of others courses of Analysis,of Probability, Mechanics, Physics and of many other areas of Pure and Applied Mathematics.
Main objectives are: to teach the logical reasoning and understanding of the text, to make known the ideas and the main methods of Calculus and to acquire problem-solving skills. Students attending this course have to
• develop an understanding of the main ideas of Calculus in one dimension,
• develop skills in solving exercises and discuss examples
• learn the core concepts of Mathematical Analysis.

Through regular attendance at lectures and tutorials of teachers and additional explanations of the tutor, the students develop skills in understanding and written and verbal exposure of the basic mathematical and logical concepts.
