Requirements: 

Basic knowledge of general chemistry and analytical chemistry (especially the main instrumental techniques) is required.

Final Examination: 
Orale

Written test and optional oral test.
Written test: a theoretical part (15/30 maximum note) and a practical part (15/30 maximum note). Both parts must reach the score of 8/15 as minimum score to be considered passed. The final note will be the sum of the two notes.
Optional oral test (only for students that obtained 8/15 in both part of the written test): a couple of short questions with maximum note 5/30. The final note will be the sum of the written part and the oral part.

Assessment: 
Voto Finale

The principal univariate and multivariate methods for chemical data treatment are presented in the course. The aim of the course is to provide the basis of chemometrics illustrating its application in the following contests: design of experiment, exploratory analysis, prediction, data processing. The course is structured with theoretical lessons and practical lessons with compulsory attendance.
