Learning goals

After completing this course, learners will be able to:

- apply fundamental concepts from school mathematics required for STEM studies,
- solve algebraic equations and inequalities,
- analyze and work with functions and their derivatives,
- perform calculations with vectors and complex numbers,
- interpret statistical data and evaluate probabilities,
- use logical reasoning and mathematical problem-solving techniques,
- confidently apply mathematical methods in preparation for university-level STEM courses.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of the high school mathematics curriculum.

For active participation in the course, an automated certificate of participation will be issued upon completion, which includes your username, the course name, the course duration, and the amount of work involved. It should be noted that this is only a confirmation stating that the user has correctly answered at least 75% of the self-assessment questions in at least 7 of the 9 units.

Additional content

ECTS credits

NOTE: The MOOC is, of course, open to the public and free to access.

However, this MOOC is offered as part of the course "Fit for Math" at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) for first-year students of the winter semester. In order to participate in the course, it is necessary that you are registered at TU Graz and that you register for this course there. If you are registered at TU Graz, you do not need an additional registration, on this MOOC platform, but you can log in with your TU Graz registration data (registration with eduID).

In the course, the subject areas covered by the MOOC are dealt with in more detail and in greater depth than in the MOOC. In this respect, the MOOC can only serve as a preview of the topics covered in the course.

As a prerequisite for the positive completion of the lecture, it is necessary that you have first completed the self-assessment questions of modules 1 to 6 with 75% success each in this MOOC. Module 7 (Differential Calculus) is not mandatory for the course, but can (but does not have to) be completed additionally on a voluntary basis. The actual (electronic) examination for the course takes place at the TU Graz at the beginning of October. In case of a positive completion of the course, you will receive the certificate with the corresponding ECTS.

For further information, please refer to the course description (follows) or to your curriculum itself.
