Objectivesetteachingméthodology:
The main objective is to promote the students’ personality and intellectual potential. For thispurpose, the teaching methodology used will aim at developing their intellectual curiosity inmathematicswhileapproachingallconceptsandnotionsinacriticalwayatthesametime.
This is why the teaching methodology that is applied focuses on developing the students'knowledgeofmathematicalconceptsandkeyprinciplessotheycanapplytheminalogicalmanner.Thisteachingmethodologyisbasedonadualapproach.Atfirst,allstudentsareaskedtogetactivelyinvolvedinthe learningprocessthen, inasecondtime,adiscussionaroundeachdifficultyandkeypointswillbeaddressed.
The final purposeof such teachingmethodology is tomake students independent, and capableofusingallmathematicalconceptsandnotionsinvariousapplicationonadaytodaybasis.
