2. Pre-Requisites

In order for students to mature main learning objectives, they need to posses basic knowledge and skills from his/her previous education.

- Basic knowledge on geometry and trigonometry, basic math operations (powers, logarithms, fractions), polynomials, matrices, differentiation, integration, and graphic representation of functions.

- Basic skills in the use of personal computers.

3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession

This pretends to be an introductory subject to stress the main points of the mathematical method characterized by the logic and rigor of arguments, the absence of contradiction, and how the principal tool in Mathematics is the mind and its potentialities.
