      Objectives of general skills

      • Understand "elementary" mathematics profoundly
        • Understand one- and several-variable differential and integral calculus
        • Use vector spaces, linear applications and the techniques associated with them
        • Understand basic algebraic structures
        • 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
