Civil Engineering

Educational objectives

Obiettivi formativi (Inglese): Aim of this module is the achievement, by the students, of the basic means of Mathematical Analysis related to the study of functions of one real variable and their use for the solution of problems in Applied Mathematics, and in particular of Physical and Engineering problems. Special emphasis is devoted to qualitative study and approximate solution of these problems, by virtue of asymptotical techniques, Taylor polynomials etc.
Risultati di apprendimento attesi (Inglese): Successful students will be able to study the behavior of numerical sequences and series; to sketch the complete graph of a function of one variable; to develop the Taylor (or MacLaurin) polynomials of functions of one variable; to study the asymptotical behavior of a function when the independent variable approaches infinity or singularities or zeros; to solve optimization problems in one variable, on bounded and unbounded intervals; to solve definite, indefinite and improper integrals; to solve some kinds of ordinary differential equations, characterizing several Physics and Engineering problems.

Educational objectives

Basics in linear algebra and geometry. Linear systems and their
geometrical interpretation for 2 or 3 unknowns. Familiarity with
rigorous reasoning, with numerical and symbolic calculus, with the
analysis of problems using an optimal strategy. Familiarity with vectors
and matrices, and with geometrical entities in 2 or 3 dimensions in
connection with equations of degree 1 or 2. Understanding of linear
applications and, in particular, of diagonalisation.Risultati di
apprendimento attesi (Inglese): I expect constant learning as the
course goes on; learning will be increased by tutorials and tests.
Little difficulties can be solved also by an email contact. Although the
beginning may be difficult, mostly due to faults in the mathematical
background, after the first impact - in several cases after the first or
second written examination - one expects a neat improvement.

Educational objectives

The course, consisting of lectures and exercises, aims specifically the teaching
of drawing as a vital tool for understanding and communication medium of the
physical reality that surrounds us. Among the structures of communication design
has a fundamental role and specific for the analysis and description of spatial
phenomena in general and the application fields related to engineering and
architecture in particular. In this sense, the design is a language and as such
carries an active role in the process of understanding, interpretation and
proposition of making structure built.An appropriate use of the design
allows you to "see, interpret, analyze, discretize and represent" the reality
that surrounds us, consider the metric geometry, matrices, proportions,
references.Drawing therefore understood not only as a set of techniques and
tools to represent what is known completely, but mostly as a process to move
progressively to the level and specificity of conoscenza.Scopo of the course is
therefore to provide students with adequate knowledge theoretical and practical
application skills in the methods of design as a fundamental tool for
visualization and communication can match the needs of contemporary society in
the design and construction of civil engineering works

Educational objectives

The aim is to promote a catch-up course in mathematics: we will introduce the formal language necessary to tackle the first semester course in mathematical analysis. In particular, we review notations and results from high school mathematics, which are then supposed to be "known" in the first semester.

GENERAL OBJECTIVE

Aim of this course is to learn the basic ideas and techniques of integral
calculus in 2 or 3 variables, Fourier series and partial differential
equations. With a practical approach, the students can develop those basic
skills that are fundamental for the comprehension of more advanced courses
in Physics and Engineereing . The objective is pursued by means of
classical frontal lessons where the students are encouraged to an active
attendance.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE

1) Knowledge and understanding: To know the basic ideas of Mathematical
analysis in several real variables, with emphasis on logical reasoning, on
text comprehension, and to the achievement of those skills necessary in
order to solve concrete problems.

2) Applying knowledge and understanding: To use the learned tools to solve
problems in Mathematical Analysis and discuss concrete examples; to
develop those skills that are necessary in order to apply Mathematical
Analysis to the solution of scientific and engineering problems.

3) Making judgement: To decide the most appropriate approach to solve a
specific problem; to classify those mathematical problems usually faced in
pure and applied science.

4) Communication skill: To learn to describe the solution of a
mathematical problem, pointing which thecniques can be used, justifying
the intermediate steps and uderlining the logical reasonings.

5) Learning skill: To develop the necessary skills to learn Mathematical
Analysis with the objective that the student can face most advanced
courses.

Educational objectives

This course first illustrates the fundamental principles of
classical mechanics, the concepts of force, work and energy,

and then the first and second law of tghermodynamics (i.e. the
general principles concerning energy conservation, and system evolution,
respectively). The student will be introduced to the scientific method, in
particular to modelling required to solve simple problems.risultati attesi:

end of the course, the student should know the principles of classical
mechanics and thermodynamics, and the concepts of force, work, energy and
potential. It should be able to employ them to solve problems of moderate

Educational objectives

The Chemistry course has an
invaluable importance for its contents for any University Degree Course that
deals with science and technology and aims to provide students with basic
knowledge in Chemistry, applicable in both scientific and technological
fields.
Expected learning outcomes:
the student will be required to demonstrate to have acquired basic knowledge
in Chemistry, applicable in both scientific and technological fields.

Educational objectives

The aim is that of providing students with some fundamental probabilistic and
statistical notions, which are the basis of the logical-mathematical reasoning under
uncertainty, with incomplete information. This will stimulate those critical skills
which allow to face, besides "routine" problems, new problems too. In particular,
students should acquire some basic notions which concern conditional and
unconditional probabilities, discrete and continuous probability distributions,
and statistical inference.
Basic notions and theoretical results on conditional and unconditional probabilities, prevision,
variance, correlation coefficient, probability density, cumulative distribution function, joint, marginal
and conditional distributions, characteristic function, basic notions on statistical inference.

Hence, they are able to provide a physical interpretation of the result they obtain analytically.

Educational objectives

Based on the knowledge acquired in the courses of Geometry, Calculus, and Physics, this course introduces to the mechanics of deformable solids. In particular, after defining the concepts of strain, stress and the equilibrium equations for a general elastic problem, we solve the Saint-Venant problem for a prismatic beam-like body.
This solution allows to estimate the stress distribution in the beam cross-section and to estimate its stiffness. Both these results are of fundamental importance in developing the beam theory studied in the course Scienza delle Costruzioni II.
