Readings/Bibliography
Theory:

Teaching methods
The course consists of lessons describing the fundamental concepts of real numbers, sequences and numerical series, and, especially, of real functions of one real variable. Lessons are completed with examples and counterexamples illuminating the theoretical content. Futhermore a lot of exercises are solved in the classroom.
Assessment methods
The examination consists of a preliminary written test (exercises) and a test about the theoretical part.
The preliminary written test consists of exercises related "to the arguments of the course. In order to sustain it the student must register at the test through AlmaEsami [https://almaesami.unibo.it/] . If this written test is passed, the student can sit for the test concerning the theoretical aspects of the course. In this part, the student must show to know the concepts explained during the course (in particular definitions and theorems) and how to connect them. The theoretical part of the exam must be passed in the same "sessione" of the preliminary written test (exercises): in the same "appello" or in the subsequent one.
