Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Understand "elementary" mathematics profoundly
    • Understand and use the naive set theory
    • Manipulate previously acquired knowledge that appears in a question
    • Give examples and counterexamples for definitions, properties, theorems, etc.
  • Understand and produce strict mathematical reasoning
    • Write clearly and concisely
    • Use mathematical vocabulary and formalism appropriately
    • Make sense of formal expressions
    • Rely on a picture to illustrate a concept, rationale, etc.
  • Solve new problems
    • Abstract and manipulate theories and use these to solve problems
    • Adapt an argument to a similar situation
    • Use knowledge from different fields to address issues

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of the instruction, the students will be able to master high school mathematics needed for the courses in the first year 
of bachelor in sciences (mathematics, physics and computer science).
AIMS : to fix high school basic notions of mathematics. 
To allow a better transition (from the mathematical viewpoint) between high school and university levels. 

Content of UE

Vectors, lines, planes, matrices, determinants.
Propositional and first order logic (truth table, quantifications, techniques of proofs). 
Inequalities.
