Overview

  • · This course is useful to develop an appropriate mathematical literacy as well as competency in documentation, analyses and presentation of results.
  • · To develop experience of report-writing, oral presentation and visual presentation.

Intended learning outcomes

The targeted learning outcomes of the course are:

A. Knowledge & (Understand)

Basic information and key concepts that a student must acquire after successfully studying the course in both areas of knowledge

And understanding is :

1

Enable the student to carry out a sustained, guided, independent study of a topic in mathematics

2

Train the student through research in a current field of mathematics and problem solving skills, literature searching, analyses and presentation of results.

B. Mental (skills)

The mental skills that the student acquires on analysis after studying the course successfully, and the ability to think creatively, identify and solve problems are:

1

To acquire experience in searching and assessing current literature

2

To analyze arguments, in relation to their premises, assumptions,

contexts, and conclusions

C. Practical & Professional (Skills)

The skills that the student must acquire when studying the course successfully, in order to enable him to use what he has studied in professional applications, are:

1

To construct logical and reasonable arguments that include anticipation of counter-arguments

2

To demonstrate creative and innovative approaches to his (her) research project subject

D. Generic (and transferable skills)

General skills or skills that can be used in the fields of work that the student must acquire when studying the course successfully, so that they can be applied in any field, namely:

1

To communicate knowledge and skills gained in conducting a

research project
