MATHEMATICS AND DATA ANALYSIS
Mathematics and data analysis
Mathematics and data analysis
(objectives)
The course aims at providing a basic knowledge of analysis, algebra and statistics. Such tools are the basic know-how for the student to learn how to process and analyse the data and the statistical processes involved in all of the other courses and disciplines and research areas that the student will come in contact with during the 3years degree program. The course aims at providing: 1) basic knowledge of analysis, studies of function, algebra with vectors and matrixes; 2) a basic knowledge of statistics and probability theory. At the end of this course, the student will acquire the skills needed to understand, analyse and process datasets.
