Content

- Numbers and number presentations
- Basic operations on integers and rational numbers
- Roots and powers
- Order of operations
- International System of Units, unit conversions
- Polynomial and rational expressions
- 1. and 2. degree polynomial equations
- Systems of two equations
- Percent calculation
- Surface areas and volumes of solids
- Density, mass and volume
- Interpreting graphs of functions
- Movement with constant speed or acceleration

Materials

1. Engineering Mathematics (6th edition), K.A. Stroud [MACMILLAN PRESS LTD]
2. Formula book: Technical formulas

Teaching methods

Teacher-directed classroom activities, group work and independent work; project work, reports, task-based (homework)

International connections

The contents of the course give understanding of the basic mathematics and help students to solve equations, including radical, exponential and logarithmic equations and use determinants and matrices (e.g. for solving linear simultaneous equations), apply dot and cross products (e.g. in games, physics and electrical engineering applications), moreover the students can use relevant mathematical denotation correctly
