Objectives
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), SDGS4, SDGS5 and SDS8 are considered fundamental in this Curricular Unit in a scenario of poverty eradication, environmental protection and the promotion of prosperity and well-being of all by 2030.
The students will acquire knowledge about mathematical models, calculation techniques and methods:
-analysis of a real situation, its interpretation and simplification
-design and mathematical modelling of real models
-analysis, interpretation and evaluation through simulation.
