Course Goal / Objective
To make students realize the unique symbols and terminology of mathematics. To enable them to use the symbols and terminology of mathematics effectively and correctly, to use the language of mathematics in mathematics itself and in different disciplines in an appropriate and effective manner. Mathematical thoughts on concrete models, figures, pictures, graphics, tables, symbols, etc. using different representations and to enable them to express in written and verbal form. To be able to associate everyday language with mathematical language and symbols. To explain the characteristics of effective mathematical communication environments.
Course Content
Mathematical symbols and terminology, the relationship of mathematical language within itself and with different disciplines, oral and written expression of mathematical ideas with different representations, the relationship between everyday language and mathematical language and symbols
Course Precondition
Not avaible
