Main themes

This course is designed to provide students with the mathematical methods used in other scientific subjects. It involves both understanding the necessary basic concepts for modelling in science and gaining a certain degree of skill in the application of calculus techniques.
This course will also develop skills in the field of generalisation, logical thinking, rigour and lead to a good understanding of the real world, particularly through the perception of geometric objects in space.
To do this, the following will be covered:
A/ Pure geometry

Thales's and Pythagorus's theorems
Trigonometry
Applications : polygons, polyhedrons, etc.

B/ Analytical geometry

Vectors in space (definition, operations, properties)
Analytical and parametric equations
Parallelism, perpendicularity, secancy, distances in space

Learning outcomes

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

Specific learning outcomes
By the end of the course, students will be able to

break down a complex geometric figure in the plan and in space to take its measurement by making use of similarities and/or remarkable trigonometric functions.
establish the surface and volume of simple geometric figures with the help of basic vector operations.
determine the coordinates of points and the equations of rights and plans defined by their geometric position in figures inspired by buildings.
identify the essential properties of geometric figures and use them with clarity and rigour when solving problems of a geometric nature.

Contribution to the learning outcome reference framework:
