Objective
Course purpose
During this course you will learn mathematical equation solving skills that are necessary during your studies in the field of technology.
Course competences
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 are able to simplify expressions. You are able to solve polynomial equations, equations involving roots and systems of equations by hand, graphically and with the help of a calculator or a computer. You are able to solve mathematical problems by using given models. You also get to know mathematical content related to your own field of study.
Content
In this course, you will learn the mathematical equation solving skills you need to study engineering. You will master the sieving of expressions and be able to solve polynomial and root equations and groups of equations manually, graphically and using computer technology. You will learn how to solve mathematical problems using ready-made models and become familiar with the mathematical content of the degree programme. This course will give you a strong foundation in solving technical problems and applying mathematical skills in practice.
Most important contents are:
- Simplifying expressions (fractional exponents, polynomials, rational expressions, binomial formulas)
- Drawing and interpreting graphs of functions
- Linear equations and lines
- Quadratic equations and parabolas
- Equations involving roots
- Systems of equations
- Percentages and proportions
- Trigonometry of right triangles
- Basics of solid geometry
- Degree-program-related content
Location and time
Implementation at Dynamo building on the Lutakko campus during period 2.
The course has 80% compulsory to attend contact teaching. All absences from contact teaching must be compensated in the manner indicated at the beginning of the course.
Some weeks may include distance learning depending on the availability of Dynamo's classrooms.
Oppimateriaali ja suositeltava kirjallisuus
Free openly licensed textbooks will be used. Links will be shared in the Moodle learning environment.
Teaching methods
Weekly contact teaching (2+2 h/week), weekly exercises and homework exercises, project work, independent studying from theory material, exams.
Exam schedules
Schedule of the exams and two resits will be given in the beginning of the course.
The course ends with a resit-2. After this, coursework returns are no longer accepted and the incomplete course must be re-taken in its entirety at the next course implementation.
Vaihtoehtoiset suoritustavat
Possibility to take an exam at the beginning of the course on the Exam Studio platform or on other means of organising the exam. In addition, coursework must be returned to Moodle.
Student workload
The estimated workload of the course is 3 credits * 27 h/cr = 81 h.
Contact teaching and councelling approx. 30 h
Weekly exercises and tests 6 x 6 h = 36 h
Independent study of material, preparation for exams and project work 12 h
Final exams 3 h
Content scheduling
The schedule of the course is agreed on at the first meeting of the course and then published in the e-learning environment.
Further information
Assessment methods:
The course includes compulsory assignments, homework and mid-term tests. Assessment will be by means of an end-of-course pass/fail exam and with a grade exam or with exam on Exam Studio. A pass mark of grade 1 is awarded on completion of the compulsory elements of the course and succeeding in the pass/fail exam. A higher grade requires participation in an grade exam.
It is also recommended to choose the course Mat1 Support if you have no background in upper secondary school long mathematics or if you need to build up your calculation routine.
