Basic knowledge of mathematics as provided by any standard high school
The exam consists of a written part and an oral interview.
The written exam requires the solution of exercises and the discussion of one or two theoretical questions.
The student can access the oral interview only if the grade obtained in the exercise part of the written exam is greater than or equal to 14/30.
The answers to the theoretical questions of the written exam will be discussed in the oral interview, where the student will also have to demonstrate that he/she has overcome the main weaknesses highlighted in the written exam.
The course aims to provide students with basic mathematical tools to understand the simplest mathematical aspects of chemistry and physical chemistry
Sequences and functions
Concept of limit and evaluation of limits
The derivative and its applications
Maxima and minima of functions and qualitative representation of function graphs
Definition of integral and tools for the analytical computation of integrals
