Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with various methods of problem solving, such as Heuristic strategies, method of generated problems, research approach to problem solving and investigation of mathematical situations. Repetition of the procedure, searching for a formula, searching for exceptions and special cases, generalization of problems, reverse problems. Proof problems, mathematical determination problems, parameter problems, verbal problems and mathematical situations.
To know basic strategies of problem solving
Prerequisites
Pass an examination from algebra 3
