The target competences are:
  • analyzing scientifically situations,
  • solving problemes,
  • modelizing,
  • arguing,
  • communicating.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
Principles of mathematical reasonings ; elementary algebra, ; basic trigonometry and geometry ; theory of real numbers.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
The lessons contain the presentation of the theoretical frame by the teacher and the solving of exercices and applications by the students. Some help-students and assistants are present to answer students' questions.
