Intended learning outcomes

The overall goal of the course is to give new students enough skills and understanding that is required to be able to follow the mathematical courses that are included in the 3- and 5-year engineering programs. The courses should also contribute to a good introduction to higher education.

After passing the course, the students should be able to:

  • use theorems and methods on mathematical problems and communicate the mathematical argumentation in writing.

 ’Mathematical’ refers to the part of the mathematics that is included in the course content.
