This six week long course aims at giving an introduction to the basic mathematical knowledge needed
for studying one of the MINT subjects at Saarland University. It is designed for potential students within
the program Studies for refugees and people entitled to political asylum. Students that passed the test in
October 2015 are welcome as well as those that want to prepare for the next test in February 2016.
We will refresh the knowledge in analysis (continuity of functions and examples; graphs of functions;
limit considerations for sequences and functions; differentiation and integration; elementary geometry)
and algebra (solving algebraic equations; factorisation of polynomials; solving systems of linear equations;
vector calculus) and give an overview on the necessary background in mathematics.
