Syllabus for english TOLC-I

Logic and reading comprehension section


The logic and reading comprehension questions seek to test in particular the
candidate’s aptitude rather than the skills acquired in secondary school. Therefore,
they do not require a specific preparation.

Mathematics, arithmetic and algebra section


Properties and operations on numbers (integers, rationals, real numbers). Absolute
value. Powers and square roots. Logarithms and exponentials. Symbolic
mathematics. Polynomials (operations, factorisations). First and second degree
algebraic equations and inequalities or reducible. Systems of first degree
equations. Fractional rational equations and inequalities and with radicals.
Geometry, segments and angles; measurements and properties. Lines and planes.
Significant loci. Properties of the main plane geometric figures (triangles, circles,
regular polygons, etc.) and their perimeters and areas. Properties of the main solid
geometric figures (spheres, cones, cylinders, prisms, parallelepipeds, pyramids, etc.)
and their volumes and areas.

• Analytic geometry and numeric functions


cartesian coordinates. The concept of function. Equations of lines and of
simple loci (circles, ellipses, parabolas, etc.). Graphs and properties of
elementary functions (powers, logarithms, exponentials, etc.). Calculations
with logarithms. Equations and inequalities with logarithms or exponentials
• Trigonometry
graphs and properties of sine, cosine and tangent. The main trigonometric
formulas (addition, subtraction, duplication, bisection). Trigonometric
equations and inequalities. Relations between the elements of a triangle
• Statistics
basic elementary notions of statistics is required (permutation, combination,
mean, variance and frequency). Basic notions to read frequency diagrams
and histograms.

Sciences section

• Mechanics
the understanding and knowledge of the following topics and concepts is
required: scalar and vector quantity, measurement of physical volumes and
measurement unit system; definitions of the fundamental physical volumes
(displacement, velocity, acceleration, mass, momentum, force, weight, work
