Short promotional description of the course

Technische wetenschap gebruikt wiskunde als taal om verschijnselen te beschrijven en om problemen te kunnen
oplossen. Met goniometrie kan je golven beschrijven. Bij veel problemen moet een optimale instelling van parameters
gevonden worden. Dat kan met wiskundige technieken zoals differentiëren. Bij het bereken van vermogen is
integraalrekening nodig. Veel modellen gebruiken differentiaalvergelijkingen. In dit vak leer je deze en andere
basistechnieken maar ook de formele aspecten van wiskunde.

Short promotional description of the course

Technical science uses mathematics as a language to describe phenomena and to solve problems. With trigonometry
one can describe waves. In many problems an optimal setting of parameters should be found. This can be done with
mathematical techniques such as differentiation. Integral calculus is needed for the calculation of energy and power.
Many models use differential equations. In this course you will learn these and other basic techniques but also the
formal aspects of mathematics.
