Complementary Mathematics

Understanding of a statement, ability to construct rigorous demonstrations of theorems, ability to express oneself with language properties, to be able to apply the acquired knowledge to proposed problems.

The lessons will be participated and / or cooperative. Practical exercises, laboratory tests, group work, educational experiences in the field are planned.

If the teaching is given in a mixed or remote way, the necessary changes may be introduced with respect to what was previously stated, in order to respect the program envisaged and reported in the syllabus.
