Course B1.
Title: Observability in Physics and Differential Calculus over Commutative Algebras.
Lecturer: Prof. Alexandre M. Vinogradov.
Schedule: 1h50' per day (from 09:00 to 10:50).
Description: The course aims to show that the natural language of classical physics is differential calculus over commutative algebras and that this fact is a consequence of the classical observability mechanism. From mathematical side this allows to reveal the "logic" of differential calculus. Indeed, differential calculus is the study of certain functors, their representative objects and natural transformations in suitable categories of modules over commutative algebras. On the base of this study all differential geometric concepts may be formalized over an arbitrary commutative algebra. Differential calculus over commutative algebras is not only the "mathematical grammar" of classical nature but it is an indispensable tool in Secondary Calculus.

Course B2.
Title: First Order Calculus on Smooth Manifolds.
Lecturer: Dr. Giovanni Moreno.
Schedule: 1h50' per day (from 11:10 to 13:00).
Description: Calculus over smooth manifolds will be developed according to the philosophy of course B1, i.e., "algebraically". It will be shown that even in basic differential geometry, this approach reveal more details than the standard one. This course is propedeutic for further more advanced courses concerning both the geometry of PDEs and Secondary Calculus.

Course A.
Title: Geometry of Finite Order Jet Spaces.
Lecturer: Prof. Alexandre M. Vinogradov.
Schedule: 1h50' per day (from 11:10 to 13:00).
Description: The functional analytic approach to differential equations hides the basic natural structures of PDEs. On the other side they clearly appears in the geometric approach based on the theory of jet spaces. First of all, the basic geometrical structures on jet spaces will be discussed in the perspective of the subsequent passage to infinite jets. In particular, it will be explained what really PDEs are from the modern point of view, what are their classical symmetries, singularities of their solutions, etc.

Course C.
Title: Secondary Differential Forms and Vector Fields.
Lecturer: Dr. Luca Vitagliano.
Schedule: 1h50' per day (from 09:00 to 10:50).
Description: The aim of the course is to introduce the category of diffieties and the fundamentals of Secondary Calculus on the base of the C-Spectral Sequence whose first term is naturally interpreted as the space of differential forms on the "solution manifold" of a system of (nonlinear) PDEs. It will be proved that calculus of variations, conservation laws theory, etc., are just small aspects of C-spectral sequence theory.
