Prerequisites

Analysis of real functions of real variable, in both single and multivariable cases.

Basics of linear algebra.

Basics of statistics.

Concepts of dynamical systems, both in continuous and discrete time.

Educational goals

At the end of the module, the student has knowledge of a wide range of problems typical of the data science and automation settings. In particular, the student is able to: formulate a business problem as a data science problem, using the most suitable technique to solve them; formulate and solve regression and classification problems; solve problems of image analysis and object recognition; apply clustering and dimensionality reduction techniques; estimate real-time non-measurable physical quantities; formulate and solve a fault diagnosis problem in an industrial environment; program a PLC to control industrial machinery.

Course content

The course will provide both theoretical lessons and laboratory experience (especially a hands-on lab with real PLCs). Matlab and python code will be given to apply the theoretical concepts.
