Teaching Method

Outline:
Based on the first and second grade mathematics, students will comprehensively review the fundamentals of mathematics necessary for the study of natural sciences and engineering, and will exercise standard problems.
Style:
Each class will be divided into several subclasses. One teacher will be assigned to each subclass.
Evaluations will be made comprehensively by exams (making up about 60% of the grade), by exercises and homework (making up about 40% of your grade).
Written exams will be carried out several times.
Notice:
Requisites: Attendance to lectures, exercise handouts, lesson notes, and textbooks of related subjects, (and if necessary, reference books, problem books, etc).
Please be sure to prepare complete solutions for problems before classes.
