The course aims to provide students with the basic mathematical and computational tools in order to be able to study, analyse and discuss real situations and phenomena through the use of mathematical models and appropriate computational tools. The knowledge of the basic notions of mathematics and linear algebra, the analytical study of functions with one and more variables, integral calculus and linear programming, will allow students to set up, be able to elaborate and put into practice solutions to real problems through the selection of appropriate mathematical and computer models.
