For students to achieve the learning objectives described, they must possess knowledge and skills that are supposed to be guaranteed in their training prior to entering the University:
- Knowledge: basic geometry and trigonometry, basic mathematical operations (powers, logarithms, fractions), polynomials, matrices, derivation, integration and graphical representation of functions.
- Basic skills in instrumental management: elementary management of computers.
The Mining Engineer is the professional who uses the knowledge of physical and mathematical sciences and engineering techniques to develop his professional activity in aspects such as the search for mining resources, the exploitation of mines, the extraction of elements of economic interest from their original minerals, the control, instrumentation and automation of processes and equipment, as well as the design, construction, operation and maintenance of extractive industrial processes, etc. This training allows him/her to participate successfully in the different branches that make up mining engineering, to adapt to changes in technologies in these areas and, if necessary, to generate them, thus responding to the needs that arise in the productive and service branches to achieve the welfare of the society to which he/she owes.
Within the MATHEMATICAL knowledge necessary to carry out all of the above, the methods developed in the subject MATHEMATICS have proven to be the most appropriate for the modern treatment of many disciplines included in the Syllabus. Disciplines that, in the end, will allow the engineer to face the problems that will arise throughout the exercise of the profession.
Therefore, it is necessary to take this subject because it is an essential part of the basic training of a future engineer. Its purpose is to provide students with the basic MATHEMATICAL resources necessary to follow other specific subjects of their degree, so that the student will have enough MATHEMATICAL ability and skills to solve problems related to engineering and to MATHEMATICS itself. In addition, this subject helps to enhance the capacity for abstraction, rigor, analysis and synthesis that are typical of MATHEMATICS and necessary for any other scientific discipline or branch of engineering.
