Objective
After completing the course the student can:
- solve equations, including radical, exponential and logarithmic equations
- use determinants and matrices
- apply dot and cross products
- perform basic operations on complex numbers
- use relevant mathematical terms and notation correctly
Evaluation methods and criteria
Homework sets 1-6 , 30 %
-Total of thirty homework exercises based on reading material and classroom notes
-diagnostic/formative self / teacher evaluation in connection with each homework set return session
Project work, reports, presentations, 40 %

-peer feedback summative teacher feedback at the end of the course
Final exam, 30 %
-A written exam (1,5 hrs) on specified material
-Summativeteacher evaluationat the end of the course
Evaluation scale
H-5
Student workload
Classroom activities: Classroom activities participation 50 h
Homework: Working on homework sets 1-6 30 h
Project work: Research, presentation material, presentation 20h
Final exam: Preparing for the final exam 25 h
Teaching methods
Teacher-directed classroom activities, group work and independent work; project work, reports, task-based (homework)
Materials
1. Precalculus (3rd edition), Fred Safier, SCHAUM’S outlines.
2. Engineering Mathematics (6th edition), K.A. Stroud [MACMILLAN PRESS LTD]
3. Formula book: Technical formulas
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
The students will team up for a project work and writing reports on some current and relevant aspect of basic math, which gives everyone an opportunity to understand the topic; all students will develop their mathematical proficiency.
Task-based assessment supports learning and is continuous throughout the course. Studying in an international group develops students’ ability to intercultural communication and multicultural collaboration
