Mathematics

This course is part of the programme
Bachelor's programme in Environment (first cycle)

Objectives and competences

Meet and complement the basic concepts and principles of higher mathematics and their applications in science and technology. Developing thinking skills specific to problem solving: understanding the problem, finding appropriate data rescue plan, rescue, checking compliance solutions and analysis solution. Expression of the mathematical reasoning and use it in the science and technical research.
