Justification and Objectives of the Teachings

Difficulties have been observed in first-year students of Computer Engineering studies to address basic subjects such as Mathematics and Physics, this fact has motivated the offer of Course Zero.

The purpose of this course is to provide students who are beginning their university life with a preparation and/or review of the fundamentals of Mathematics and Physics that will be necessary to successfully address the different subjects that make up their study plan.
