Learning outcomes

This course provides students with the basic concepts of Graph Theory and the basics of Discrete and Computational Geometry.
At the end of the course, the student will know the main classical theorems of graph theory, in particular about structural properties, colorings, matchings, embeddings and flow problems.
He/she will also be familiar with basic Discrete Geometry results and with some classical algorithms of Computational Geometry. He/she will have the perception of links with some problems in non mathematical contexts.
He/she will be able to produce rigorous proofs on all these topics and he/she will be able to read articles and texts of Graph Theory and Discrete Geometry.

Reference texts
Author Title Publishing house Year ISBN Notes
Diestel Graph Theory (Edizione 5) Springer 2016
Matousek Lectures on Discrete Geometry (Edizione 1) Springer 2002

Examination Methods

To pass the exam, students must show that:
- they know and understand the fundamental concepts of general topology
- they know and understand the fundamental concepts of local theory of curves and surfaces
- they have analysis and abstraction abilities
- they can apply this knowledge in order to solve problems and exercises and they can rigorously support their arguments.

Written test (2 hours).
The written exam on Graph Theory consists of three/four exercises and two questions (1 on general definition / concepts and 1 with a proof of a theorem presented during the lectures).

Oral Test (Mandatory)
It is a discussion with the lecturer on definitions and proofs discussed during the lectures about Discrete and Computational Geometry.

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

News for students

There you will find information, resources and services useful during your time at the University (Student’s exam record, your study plan on ESSE3, Distance Learning courses, university email account, office forms, administrative procedures, etc.). You can log into MyUnivr with your GIA login details: only in this way will you be able to receive notification of all the notices from your teachers and your secretariat via email and soon also via the Univr app.

Double degree

The University of Verona, through a network of agreements with foreign universities, offers international courses that enable students to gain a Double/Joint degree at the time of graduation. Indeed, students enrolled in a Double/Joint degree programme will be able to obtain both the degree of the University of Verona and the degree issued by the Partner University abroad - where they are expected to attend part of the programme -, in the time it normally takes to gain a common Master’s degree. The institutions concerned shall ensure that both degrees are recognised in the two countries.

Places on these programmes are limited, and admissions and any applicable grants are subject to applicants being selected in a specific Call for applications.

It's online Erasmus + - double joint degree a.y. 2024/2025

The latest Call for applications for Double/Joint Degrees at the University of Verona is available now!

Alternative learning activities

In order to make the study path more flexible, it is possible to request the substitution of some modules with others of the same course of study in Mathematics at the University of Verona (if the educational objectives of the modules to be substituted have already been achieved in the previous career), or with others of the course of study in Mathematics at the University of Trento.

Documents


Attendance

As stated in the Teaching Regulations for the A.Y. 2022/2023, except for specific practical or lab activities, attendance is not mandatory. Regarding these activities, please see the web page of each module for information on the number of hours that must be attended on-site.

Graduation

Deadlines and administrative fulfilments

For deadlines, administrative fulfilments and notices on graduation sessions, please refer to the Graduation Sessions - Science and Engineering service.

Need to activate a thesis internship

For thesis-related internships, it is not always necessary to activate an internship through the Internship Office. For further information, please consult the dedicated document, which can be found in the 'Documents' section of the Internships and work orientation - Science e Engineering service.

Final examination regulations

Upon completion of the Master’s degree dissertation students are awarded 32 CFU. The final examination consists of a written dissertation on a specific topic agreed with a supervising professor and presented to a commission (Dissertation Committee).

The dissertation can be high-level theoretical or experimental (in the latter case, it may focus on either basic or applied research), it can deal with a theoretical topic or propose the resolution of a specific problem, or description of a work project, and may be carried out at universities, research institutions, schools, laboratories and companies in the framework of internships, traineeships, study stays in Italy and abroad. The dissertation must be original and written by the student under the guidance of a Supervisor. At the request of the student, the dissertation may be written and presented in Italian.

Professors belonging to the Mathematics Teaching Committee, the Department of Computer Science, and any associated departments may be appointed as Supervisors, as well as any professors from the University of Verona whose area of interest (SSD - Scientific-disciplinary Sector) is included in the teaching regulations of the degree programme.

Students may take the final exam only if meeting all requirements set by the School of Sciences and Engineering.

The Master's degree in Mathematics is obtained by successfully passing the final examination and thus earning the 120 CFU included in the study plan.

The material submitted by the student for the final examination will be examined by the Dissertation Committee, which comprises three professors, possibly including the Supervisor, and appointed by the President of the Teaching Committee. The final examination will be assessed based on the following criteria: the student’s performance during the entire study programme, the knowledge acquired during the dissertation work, their understanding of the topic and autonomy of judgment, their ability to apply such knowledge, and communicate effectively and fully all the outcomes of the work and the main results obtained.

The final examination and the degree ceremony will be carried out, in one of the four graduation sessions throughout the academic year, by the Final Examination Committee appointed by the President of the Teaching Committee, and made up of a president and at least four members chosen from among the professors of the University.

For further information, please refer to the Final examination regulations.
