Math2 Functions (TZLM2300-3022)

Course purpose

During this course you will expand the range of mathematical tools needed in your studies in the field of technology by studying the notion of a function and the use of functions in modelling different phenomena.

Course competences

You have the knowledge and understanding of mathematics and other basic sciences underlying your engineering specialisation, at a level necessary to achieve the other programme learning outcomes (EA-KW).

Learning outcomes

After completing this course you know the notion of a function, recognise the type of a given function and understand the properties of different kinds of functions.

You are able to simplify polynomial and rational expressions. You understand the notion of an equation and common principles to solve equations.

- The notion of a function and the notation related to functions
- Logarithmic functions and equations
- Exponential functions and equations
- Trigonometric functions: the sine curve
- The use of functions in modelling
- Piecewise defined functions
- Combined functions
- Inverse functions
- Limit of a function

Grade 1

You understand the notion of function and the notation related to functions. You recognise basic elementary functions. You are able to analyze functions with the help of information technology. You can solve basic tasks by using a model.

Grade 2

You understand the notion of function and the notation related to functions. You recognise basic elementary functions. You know basic properties of different types of functions. You are able to independently solve basic tasks. Your use of notation is dubious.

Grade 3

You understand the notion of function and the notation related to functions. You can analyze the graph of a function by inspecting the expression of the function and draw the graph without information technology. You are able to solve necessary function-related equations and model simple problems with functions.

Grade 4

You are able to analyze the properties of different types of functions also when the functions expressions contains parameters. Your notation is clear and valid. You solve function-related equations validly. You are able to model phenomena with functions, but you apply your knowledge uncertainly in new situations.

Grade 5

You are able to analyze the properties of different types of functions also when the functions expressions contains parameters. Your notation is precise. You solve function-related equations validly. You are able to model phenomena with functions and apply your knowledge in new situations.

The course offers good mathematical competencies for studies in other fields than technology. The course is also offered in the open university of applied sciences.
