Study Guide

Learning outcomes

Student is able to
- calculate and simulate mathematical expressions
- solve geometric and trigonometric problems
- knows bacis of vectors in plane

Implementation and methods of teaching

This is an online version of Tekniikan matematiikan perusteet. The course can studied at own pace, although there are scheduled lectures. The number of lectures is less than in contact teaching.

The course can be studied during the autumn but lectures are before autumn break on Thursday at 10am - 12am. There are extra lectures on first three weeks, whose lecturing times are not available yet.

Learning material and recommended literature

All material is available in moodle.

Learning environment

The course is studied with material in moodle.

Contents

- Percentages, polynomial equations (1. and 2. degree), systems of two linear equations: word problems
- Basics of trigonometry (right-angled triangle, non-right angled triangle, unit circle)
- Geometry in plain
- Vectors in plain

Review on topics of Johdatus matematiikkaan (Introduction to mathematics), if needed.

Additional information for students: previous knowledge etc.

Johdatus matematiikkaan (Introduction to mathematics) or corresponding knowledge from expressions, unit transformation, equations, and system of two equations.
