Mathematical Modelling
This course aims to provide the students with the basic skills and knowledge they need to investigate practical problems using Mathematics and Statistics in a modelling framework. The first part provides essential knowledge in fundamental Calculus and in Statistics. In the second part we present problems chosen from common experiences and we train the students to build simple mathematical models to describe them. We also propose the analysis of simple datasets, allowing students to acquire the basic abilities to understand and interpret data.
History of European Integration
