FCS Science - Basic Math 1 (Caboara)


Massimo Caboara (massimo.caboara@unipi.it)


After the first part of Basic Math 1, given by professor Stepanov, here it is the second part, given by me. Attendance is mandatory for all the students that took the Stepanovs class.

Schedule for Basic Math 1 : every student that has to take this class has to be present at the time and date below. If you are registered as a "blended" or "online" student you will attend the corresponding teams meeting. The meeting details will be sent by email.

Program: at the and of the class the students will be able to find the approximate solutions of polynomial equations of any degree using the Sturm Algorithm and the Newton Raphson Method.

Exercises and Exam

The On Campus students have to take the examination in person. The only exceptions are students that have already contacted me. You can bring notes, books and a pocket calculator. No cell phone, tablets et similia. If you can't take the exam on 26/01 there will be other dates, same rules. Online students have to keep the video connection on the whole time of the examination.

The final grade for the Basic Math 1 class will be a weighted average of the Stepanov's grade (weighted 3/4) and this grade (weigthed 1/4).
To pass, the students need a sufficient grade for both parts.


Final grades (for my part. The final grades will be discussed with prof. Stepanov and will be shortly available)


Final solutions

The next exam date will be here shortly.


Here there is the material we discussed in class. More exercises there, some solved, some for you to solve
