The main aim of the course is to brush up this basic knowledge and to eliminate eventual deficits.
Attention will also be given to the skills that underlie a clear insight into the subject-matter, viz. to have mastered procedures, to develop an appropriate way of thinking and problem solving, to reflect on problem solving methods, and to develop a critical attitude with respect to figures or numerical data.
