Opintojakso on tarkoitettu ensisijaisesti tekniikan alan kandidaatti- ja DI-ohjelmien opiskelijoille ja ohjelmiin hakemista suunnitteleville.

Description

  • Elementary functions (polynomial and rational functions, trigonometric functions, logarithmic and exponential functions).
  • Solving equations and inequalities.
  • Estimating and comparing the asymptotic growth rates of functions.
  • The derivative of a single-variable function.
  • Accumulation and the integral function.
  • Summation notation and series.
  • Combining and truncating sums and series, as well as estimating them from above and below.
  • Propositional logic: Connectives, counterexamples, logical implication, and logical equivalence.
  • The truth value of an open sentence (predicate).
  • Introduction to basic set theory notations (union, intersection, difference, complement). 

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, the student:

  • Has strengthened their readiness to study mathematics as part of university studies by supplementing the basic skills provided by advanced high school mathematics.
  • Has strengthened their calculation routine (computational fluency).
  • Has become familiar with mathematical concepts essential for studies in information and software engineering.
  • Has become familiar with the basics and fundamental concepts of logical reasoning and propositional logic.
  • Masters the basic notations of set theory.
  • Has become familiar with the software tools used in studying mathematics.
