The course aims to introduce the student to the basic concepts of the theory of functions of a real variable, with elements of analytical geometry. The student must be able to apply methods and basic concepts of probability and statistics to data analysis.
At the end of the course, the student will acquire information theory basic concepts and programming and reasoning systems global knowledge; He will know the computer networks and he will be able to identify related issues. Finally, he will own a global vision of the hypertext markup language (HTML) useful to develop and design a simple WEB site.
The course will take place through lectures with exercises
Should the circumstances require online or blended teaching, appropriate modifications to what is hereby stated may be introduced, in order to achieve the main objectives of the course.
To students with disabilities:
Students with disabilities may ask for private meeting with the teacher to discuss about exams modality.
For further information contact the CInAP reference teacher of our Department, prof. Teresa Musumuci.
Through lessons and practical sessions at the end of each learning unit (when planned).
If the lessons are given in a mixed or remote way, the necessary changes with respect to what was previously stated may be introduced, in order to meet the program envisaged and reported in the syllabus.
To guarantee equal opportunities and in compliance with the laws in force, interested students can ask for a personal interview in order to plan any compensatory and / or dispensatory measures, based on the didactic objectives and specific needs.
It is also possible to contact the referent teacher CInAP (Center for Active and Participated Integration - Services for Disabilities and / or SLD) of our Department, Prof. Teresa Musumeci
