Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Understand "elementary" mathematics profoundly
    • Understand one- and several-variable differential and integral calculus
    • Use vector spaces, linear applications and the techniques associated with them
    • Manipulate previously acquired knowledge that appears in a question
  • Understand and produce strict mathematical reasoning
    • Rely on a picture to illustrate a concept, rationale, etc.
