Objectives

Course purpose

This course is meant to be taken simultaneously with Math2 Functions. On this course you receive support in your studies and rehearse the contents of Math2 Functions with guidance.

Course competences

During this course you further your knowledge of mathematical principles underlying engineering with regard to functions.
EUR-ACE: Knowledge and understanding 
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.

Learning outcomes

After completing this course you have increased and strengthened your knowledge about the contents of Math1 Equations course.

Content

During this course you develop your competence with calculation routines. You practice and strengthen your knowledge about recognising functions, understanding the properties of different functions, determining the expression of a function and solving function-related equations.

Time and location
