Mathematical Analysis II
Aim of the course
This course will deal with classical instruments of metrical, infinitesimal, differential and integral calculus.
The main aims are:
1) achieving skills of analysis, such as introducing and using rigorous discussion and analytical reasoning in order to understand symbol definition, meaning and preparing for the research of formula applicability conditions;
2) learning rigorous, appropriate and essential vocabulary;
3) preparing to meet and manage the use of quantitative methods
