This course is designed to allow students to become more skilful in certain procedures in mathematics such as vectors and trigonometrical functions, the connection of algebra and geometry in a system of coordinates, and an introduction to combinatorics. Furthermore, the historical evolution of trigonometry and the practical knowledge of trigonometrical functions are addressed, for instance regarding geodetic surveys. It is emphasised that students acquaint themselves with plane geometry in a coordinate system and learn to prove and apply the major theorems concerned. Certain proofs are selected for discussion.
