Course Outcomes:

A-  Knowledge:

     (Specific facts and knowledge of concepts, theories, formula etc.)

 

     Gives a quick overview of some applications of derivation and integration, training to develop analytical and numerical solutions of some differential equations, training to the use of the concepts of differentiation in the wave dynamics study of spherical geometry of space.

 

B-Cognitive Skills:

    (Thinking, problem solving )

1-    The students acquires the ability to find mathematical models that describe concrete world problems.

2-    Applying the standard emanating criteria given in the course to much better understanding applied fields.

3-    Recognizing the importance of mathematics as a wonderful and power tools to better understand what the students study 

 

C- Interpersonal skills and responsibilities

    (group participation, leadership, personal responsibility ,  ethic and moral behavior, capacity for  self directed learning)

     The student will recognize that the various sciences form an integrated system and found on the other sides what  help him to better understand his field and opens ways of cooperation with others from other specialties, and then recognizes the importance of teamwork.

 

D- Analysis and communication:

         (communication, mathematical and IT skills)

     Differential equations highlight the importance of theoretical physics. This course help the student to better understand the physical phenomena through mathematical analysis. 

 

     Assessment methods for the above elements

     According to the following elements:

          Discussions, Homework, Periodic tests and final test
