Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to
explain and use the core mathematical elements as described in LK-20, with particular emphasis on Exploration and problem solving, Representation and communication and Abstraction and generalisation.
through exploration, problem solving, appropriate representation, abstraction and generalization discover and account for important results and connections between concepts in algebra, number theory, classical geometry and analysis.
communicate mathematics you have developed yourself and familiarize yourself with, and understand, others' mathematical ideas and reasoning.
facilitate work with the core mathematical elements in secondary and upper secondary school.
