In particular students f the Higher Algebra curse have been stimulated int creative studying thus having leading rles in the learning prcess, and intrducing them als t research. Fr the students f the first years, in particular in the Basic Math curse fr Architecture students, innvative teaching frmulas have been designed. They have t take int cnsideratin als prblemslving appraches s as t stimulate greater interest and awareness in the learning f Mathematics. Didactic activities abrad - in English: Calculus curse at Yrk University - Trnt - Canada in French: Techniques in Categrical Algebra, Dctral curse at the University f Luvain La Neuve - Belgium in French: Mal cev Categries curse at the University f Luvain La Neuve - Belgium in English : Algebraic Theries curse Summer Schl - Cimbra - Prtugal In the past few years she has als lectured n research and innvatin in several universities such as: - MIP Schl f Management, Plitecnic di Milan - University f Naples Federic II ACTIVITIES IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND GUIDANCE In the past ten years Maria Cristina Pedicchi cmmitted herself with great interest and dedicatin t the develpment f a series f initiatives dealing with internatinal activities and the prmtin f Eurpean prjects (and nt nly) bth as far as research and as far as mbility are cncerned.
