Learning outcomes of the course :  
Algebra and geometry

To provide basics in mathematics to students majoring in bioengineering, with initiation to the main algebric et geometric tools and their applications in problem analysis and solution. After completing the course, the student is expected to
  • to give the equations (parametric, cartesian, polar, spheric) of straight lines, planes, lines and surfaces
  • to solve systems of linear equations via matrix

Analysis 1 : differential calculus

To provide basics in mathematics to students majoring in bioengineering, with initiation to the main tools of differential calculus (one variable) and their applications in problem analysis and solution. After completing the course, the student is expected to apply differential calculus (one variable) to function study and numerical calculus.

Analysis 2 : integral calculus

To provide basics in mathematics to students majoring in bioengineering, with initiation to the main tools of integral calculus (one variable) and their applications in problem analysis and solution. After completing the course, the student is expected to
  • to apply integral calculus (one variable) to area and volume
  • to analyse the convergence of a serie.
