Objectives (course unit)

In this course, you will learn the basics of the mathematics behind technology, with topics such as geometry, vectors and functions


As a student, you
• recognize the mathematical notations related to the subject areas and know how to use the most important of them
• know how to solve an oblique triangle and you know how to calculate the parts and areas of different plane patterns
• know the basic tasks of vector calculation
• know the basic concepts of functions and recognize the typical properties of different functions
• recognize graphs of different types of functions
• know the different representations of complex numbers and master the calculation with them
• know the meaning of the sine curve parameters
• know how to use and apply the topics in technical problems
• know how to create a mathematical model of technical problems and can apply it in the solution of the problem
• are able to present and justify logically chosen solutions
• know how to evaluate the reasonableness and correctness of the solutions you make
