MATEMATICA E STATISTICA - INFORMATICA A - L

Learning Objectives

• Mathematics and Statistics

  The course aims to introduce the student to the basic concepts of the theory of functions of a real variable, with elements of analytical geometry. The student must be able to apply methods and basic concepts of probability and statistics to data analysis.

• Basic and Applied Computer Science

  At the end of the course, the student will acquire information theory basic concepts and programming and reasoning systems global knowledge; He will know the computer networks and he will be able to identify related issues. Finally, he will own a global vision of the hypertext markup language (HTML) useful to develop and design a simple WEB site.

Course Structure

• Mathematics and Statistics

  The course will take place through lectures with exercises

• Basic and Applied Computer Science

  Through lessons and practical sessions at the end of each learning unit (when planned).
