Summer School
As part of the PNRR Project of orientation in the school-university transition, Summer School offers dedicated courses for students in the last years of high school.
With this initiative, the Department of Mathematics and Applications wants to show the Beauty of studying Mathematics, the Fatigue that many students encounter, and the Method that allows them to confront this fatigue and understand aspects of mathematical reasoning. This activity is not a preparation for "entry tests", but is aimed at people who are passionate about Mathematics, regardless of the degree courses they want to enrol in.
The Summer School also aims, through lessons and seminars, to familiarise students with the context of higher education and its value in society, to acquire didactical experience, participation and workshops, to test and consolidate their knowledge and skills as well as to find out about possible future job opportunities.
