Teaching methods
Chalk and blackboard have proved powerfully enduring and pervasive technologies in the teaching of Mathematics. However, since we are well aware that we are already in the thrird millennium, sometimes also transparencies and a computer-connected video projector will be used
Assessment methods
Mandatory written test.
Optional oral exam in case of test passed.
Teaching tools
theory, applications, examples, and exercises.
