The ultimate goal is to develop the capacity to solve complex problems not only theoretically but also through the use of numerical methods and techniques appropriately implemented in Matlab.

SPECIFIC
• Knowledge and understanding: A basic knowledge of Calculus I–II and Algebra is required, as these are fundamental for understanding appropriate basic numerical methods for solving specific problems.
• Applying knowledge and understanding: The course aims to guide students toward the ability to use numerical techniques and implement them in Matlab.
• Making judgements: The main goal of the course is to provide students with the foundations for developing an awareness in studying numerical techniques as alternatives to classical methods for solving complex problems.
• Communication skills: The goal is to be able to understand the problem, solve it, and effectively present the obtained result.
• Learning skills: The goal is to develop the ability to learn new concepts and to connect theory and practice through programming.

Educational objectives

GENERAL
The course aims to provide students with an introduction to discrete mathematics, which represents one of the most innovative fields in mathematics. Developed starting from the second half of the twentieth century, it is rich in stimulating problems and highly useful in applications. Throughout the course, students will encounter a variety of topics and problems that are completely different from those found in traditional mathematics courses. Through systematic engagement in problem-solving, they will develop a practical approach to studying problems of great educational value, particularly in preparation for their future professional careers.

SPECIFIC
• Knowledge and understanding: By the end of the course, students will be familiar with the methods, problems, and potential applications of discrete mathematics;
• Applying knowledge and understanding: They will be able to understand, tackle, and solve basic problems in discrete mathematics;
• Making judgements: Through written exercises and possible oral presentations, they will develop appropriate critical thinking skills;
• Communication skills: Likewise, they will strengthen their ability to explain and convey what they have learned;
• Learning skills: Individual study will effectively train their capacity for autonomous and independent learning.
