IX1307 Problem-Solving in Mathematics 7.5 credits

Mathematical logic, mathematical definitions, basic number theory, sets, functions, mathematical axioms, algebraic equalities and inequalities, visualisation in mathematics, complex numbers, mathematical argumentation, mathematical proofs and proof models, generalisation of mathematical statements, use of computer-based mathematical tools

This course should give a basis to university mathematics. On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• communicate mathematical content
• use mathematical statements (propositions, predicates, definitions, axioms, theorems)
• use and visualise basic mathematical concepts: real numbers (integers, rational and irrational numbers), complex numbers, sets, functions as well as algebraic equalities and inequalities
• use mathematical argumentation and different proof techniques
• use computer-based mathematical tools for calculation and visualisation

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• INL1 - Hand-in assignments, 4.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN1 - Exam, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
