Description
This course is intended for first-year students who have chosen the PCSI track. It presents the basic rules of calculation that will enable you to better follow the more formal courses, complete the tutorials, read and understand the books in the university library, etc. It complements the Mathematical Tools 1 and 2 courses. This course is mainly based on calculation practice through exercises. Course reviews are generally brief, and the emphasis is on acquiring certain automatic skills designed to master, accelerate, and streamline the most commonly used mathematical operations in science (at the first-year level). The chapters covered are: elementary calculations and operations, trigonometry (particularly geometric), complex numbers, vectors and coordinate systems, elementary geometry, basics of polynomials, and basics of statistics and probability.
Objectives
