TIMEPERIOD: Q2 LANGUAGE:Swedish EXAMINER Håkan Broström Univ adj PREREQUISITES Applicants must have completed the courses KSP046 and PÄP044. COURSE AIM The aims of the course are that students acquire knowledge of: - atomic theory as a model of explanation for chemical processes and physical phenomena - transformations, phases and phase transitions in chemical reactions - the history of ideas within science, and scientific formation of concepts and models - the significance of the experiment in scientific work procedures and scientific didactics - electromagnetic basic concepts, theory of circuits and applications - the axiomatic, deductive and inductive structure in mathematical theory of numbers Students are also to develop: - understanding through metacognition of how the anxiomatic, deductive and inductive structure in mathematical theory of numbers is applied in comprehensive school on knowledge of both concepts and procedures - in-depth understanding of mathematical concepts - ability to apply laboratory and examining work procedures CONTENTS The fundamentals of chemistry, such as a atomic theory, the periodic system, chemical bond, chemical reactions and thermochemistry. magnitudes, systems of units and measurements. The forms and transformation of matter, thermology. Electrical theory of circuits, experiments and applications in everyday life. Scientific methodology. Didactic viewpoints on the experiment as a scientific method. History of science and technology. Methods in engineering mechanics. scientific and mathematical didactics for comprehensive school. Natural numbers, prime numbers, arithmetical laws, the fundamental theorem of arithmetics, the numerical system including complex numbers. Position systems, modulo calculation, Euklide's algorithm and algorithms for arithmetical calculations The fundamental theorem of algebra, the unique factorization theorem and polynomial division. Arithmetical and geometric series. Patterns of number and induction evidence. TEACHING The teaching will be partly problem-based and will be supplemented with lectures, lessons, literature seminars, excursions and study visits.
