Learning objectives

The course is an introduction into the fundamental methods and concepts of mathematics, especially into the method of proof and the language of sets. At the end of the course the student will be expected to demonstrate that s/he has attained adequate skills in synthesis and abstraction, as well as the ability to recognize and produce rigorous proofs and to formalize and solve moderately difficult problems related to the topics of the course.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Adequate knowledge and mathematical and scientific skills typical of the training provided by the upper-level secondary school are required:
- Sets and functions, numerical and letter computations, methods of solving equations and inequalities (and systems of equations and inequalities) of first and second degree .
- Geometric properties of the princiipal plane and solid figures and their elementary properties.
- Representation in the Cartesian plane of geometric elements.
- Basics of trigonometry.
- Functions, graphs, relations.
- Power, root, absolute value functions.
- Exponential and logarithm and their graphs.
- Trigonometric functions and their graphs.
- Solving simple equations and inequalities constructed with these functions.
- Representing data, relations and functions with formulas, tables, bar charts and other graphical modes.
- Logical deductions of moderate complexity and logical implications between elementary sentences.

Program

Propositions and predicates
Connectives and quantifiers
Sets, elements, subsets
The axiomatic-deductive method
Mathematical terminology
Proof techniques
Relations and functions
Families and sequences
The Peano axioms
Number systems
Transfinite methods

Didactic methods

All teaching hours will be held in the lecture theatre.
On top of the teaching hours, which consist of lectures, regular exercises will be assigned as homework and (subject to sufficient availability of tutors) discussed during the optional tutorials.

Learning assessment procedures

Single written exam with open questions and grades out of 30. The exam modalities are equal for attending and non-attending students.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The exam aims to verify the ability to formalize and solve problems, the possession of an adequate capacity for analysis, synthesis, generalization and abstraction, and the ability to recognize and produce rigorous proofs, always limited to the teaching programme.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The final grade consists of the outcome of the sole written exam.
Exercise bonuses (subject to sufficient availability of tutors): Regular homework exercises will be assigned to prepare for the exam. Solutions will be discussed during optional tutorial hours. Students' papers will be corrected individually by a tutor. A good score in the exercises will result in a bonus for the exam.
