| Objectives of the Course |
| The aim of the course is to memorize basic mathematical concepts to students with different backgrounds and to make them comprehend the necessity of these concepts in daily life. Students will be able to develop mathematical solution strategies for daily problems and identify necessary mathematical concepts in this context. Basic mathematical concepts will be discovered/taught through experimentation, so that the student will be able to observe the need for mathematics at first hand. |
