Preliminary Course in Mathematics

Introduction

FORK 2910 is a preliminary course in mathematics that prepares you for the mathematics course EXC 2910 Mathematics. EXC 2910 is included as a compulsory part of the bachelor's programs in economic-administrative subjects. The preliminary course runs throughout the autumn semester, while the main course EXC 2910 runs in the following spring semester.

The preliminary course is recommended for everyone. Students who have recently taken R-mathematics at upper secondary school with very good results can assess whether they need the preliminary course.

The introductory course covers fundamental topics in algebra and functions in a variable. This forms the basis for EXC 2910 Mathematics.

Note: The teaching in EXC 2910 Mathematics is based on the syllabus in the preliminary course FORK 2910. If you do not have the pre-course topics fresh in your mind, EXC 2910 will be very difficult to complete. Anyone who is in doubt as to whether they need a preliminary course is therefore strongly recommended to attend.

Course content

  • Elementary algebra, solution of equations and systems of equations.
  • Function: The concept of functions and basic functions such as polynomial functions and rational functions.
