|---|---|
| THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE A SOUND UNDERSTANDING OF THE MATHEMATICAL PRINCIPLES THAT UNDERPIN OTHER PERTINENT DISCIPLINES, NAMELY, CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS AND BIOLOGY. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE CONCISE AND SUITED TO APPLICATIONS, THE PRINCIPAL MATHEMATICAL TOOLS NEEDED TO STUDY PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL DISCIPLINES AND FOR APPLICATIONS IN THE BIOLOGICAL FIELD. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE AIM OF THE COURSE IS TO MAKE THE STUDENT ABLE TO ASSIMILATE THE THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED. IN ADDITION, THROUGH MATHEMATICAL TOOLS, THE STUDENT MUST BE ABLE TO DESCRIBE AN "IDEAL MODEL" OF A PHENOMENON BY ANALYZING THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE DATA. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| KNOWLEDGE GAINED IN COURSES FROM HIGH SCHOOL. IN PARTICULAR, IT REQUIRES KNOWLEDGE OF ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA, TRIGONOMETRY, SOLUTION METHODS OF EQUATIONS AND INEQUALITIES OF FIRST AND SECOND INSTANCE. |
