2. Formula book: Technical formulas
Teaching methods
Teacher-directed classroom activities, group work and independent work; project work, reports, task-based (homework)
International connections
he 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.
