The course has two sides: understanding mathematical methods and applying them in engineering tasks. We look into the topics through engineering lenses utilizing different tools like Wolfram Alpha.
Course content includes:
System of equations and matrices
Polynomial functions and inequalities
Geometry 3d
Vectors 3d (incl. directional cosines, dot product, and projection)
Exponential and logarithmic functions and equalities

Additional information for students: previous knowledge etc.
