Methods of Teaching Mathematics
|
3
|
This course begins with the identification of the general objectives of teaching mathematics and the objectives of teaching mathematics at key stage level and in secondary branches of the academic (scientific and literary), and vocational (industrial and commercial).
This course examines the themes the main stage of higher education (5- 10), where students acquire the methods of teaching algebraic concepts and principles of solving equations, relations and associations, and the types of associations. Additionally, they
learn how to teach the principles of probability, statistical representations, Euclidean geometry, how to demonstrate engineering subsidiary and trigonometry. This course also includes a description of recent trends in the teaching of mathematics using the
technology of computers and calculators. The course concludes on how to organize modules in the school calendar and how to prepare exams and evaluations.

This course is a hybrid course that sits at the intersection of mathematics and programming. This course teaches students the basics of mathematical concepts related to computing and improving the student's programming skills by implementing mathematical problem
using different programming languages. The concepts include some basic linear algebra (vector spaces, matrix operations), cryptography (symmetric public key), statistics operations, Linear Equations (Matrix Representation of systems of linear equations, Gaussian
elimination, Inverting nXn matrices) and more. The emphasis will be on using the results, not on their proofs.

|
This course includes the following topics: - Review of series - Complex numbers. - Linear Algebra (matrices, determinates). - Vectors Analysis. - Special functions (Beta, Gamma, etc.). - Series solution of differential equations. - Coordinate Transformations
with common special functions (like Legendre, Hermite, Laguerre ?)

Scientific Research Methods
|

|
This course is a study of research basic concepts, methods and tools used in business management. The course aims at helping students become aware of new methods of research and their applications for academic and professional investigations. By examining the
applications, strengths and major criticisms of methodologies drawn from both the qualitative and quantitative traditions, this course permits an understanding of the various decisions and steps involved in crafting (and executing) a research methodology,
as well as a critically informed assessment of published research.
