Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Understand the fundamentals
    • Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of mathematics suitable for the study of physics, and be able to use this mathematics in applications in the field of physics
    • Undertake further study having already acquired and enhanced the necessary learning skills
  • Provide clear and accurate information
    • Communicate complex information to a qualified scientific partner
  • Have a rigorous scientific approach
    • Solve simple problems in the context of physics by identifying their basic aspects and by using both appropriate theoretical and experimental methods

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. 

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

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