ML0024 Mathematics for Technical Preparatory Year II 12.0 credits

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.

Intended learning outcomes

The overall goal of the course is to give new students enough skills and understanding 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.

On completion of the course, the student should

  • be able to use theorems and methods on mathematical problems, also without digital aids, and communicate the mathematical argumentation in writing.

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