Teaching methods

A self-study course. A student refreshes his/her previous Math skills by reading material in TuniMoodle and, if necessary, finding more information on the Internet. He/she solves mandatory exercises and saves them in TuniMoodle by given dead-lines. Before each dead-line a student has a chance to ask help online in Zoom-meetings.

Learning materials

All material, theory and exercises, can be found in TuniMoodle. If necessary, a student can use math books he/she has used before and the Internet to search more information about the topics. The solutions for the exercises will be published in TuniMoodle after every deadline.

Further information

It is recommended that a student has a calculator and a formula book.
