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
Self-paced online course.
Automatically checked assignments award points to complete the course. Assignments alone can pass the course, but higher grades require participation in an applied exam.
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
