Course history

Introduction

This course, together with Mathematics 1000, will give the students an understanding of mathematical concepts, problems and solution methods with the focus on application, particularly in engineering subjects.

Recommended preliminary courses

Required preliminary courses

There are no requirements beyond the admission requirements.

Learning outcomes

This course covers the main topics concerning societal integration and societal trends in modern society. What are the basic disadvantages of a highly modern integrated society? What is political development and the role of the work? In this course the students are invited to reflect on these and other questions related to these topics.

Language of instruction is English.

Teaching and learning methods

The course is taught through joint lectures and exercises. In the exercise sessions, the students work on assignments, both individually and in groups, under the supervision of a lecturer. These sessions will also involve assessing the assignments - both own ones and assignments carried out by fellow students.

In between teaching sessions, the students are supposed to work with exercises. The proposed exercises are directly linked to learning outcomes for the course. Assessing their own and others' solutions will provide the students with insight as to which extent these goals are achieved.

The students will also have the option of handing in certain exercise sets and have these assessed.

Course requirements

The subject is organized into lectures, and discussions.
