It will enable them to prepare assignments or write up a dissertation in an appropriate way. The course focuses on the basic Mathematical terminology and how to use it in order to read and understand mathematical articles, theorems, proofs, axioms, definitions and problems. Students learn to organize ideas and arguments in a clear and logical manner and raise their awareness of the variety of writing genre appropriate to their discipline.<\/p>\n<p><strong> Course content<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>English Scientific Terminology<\/li>\n<li>Word Formation<\/li>\n<li>What is special about academic English<\/li>\n<li>College and university: the U.K. &amp; the U.S. systems<\/li>\n<li>Academic courses<\/li>\n<li>Talking about ideas<\/li>\n<li>Reporting what others say<\/li>\n<li>Degrees of certainty<\/li>\n<li>Presenting an argument<\/li>\n<li>Organizing your writing<\/li>\n<li>Making a presentation<\/li>\n<li>Writing an impressive C.V.<\/li>\n<li>Numbers and Basic Math<\/li>\n<li>Measurements<\/li>\n<li>Analyzing Quantities<\/li>\n<li>Statistics<\/li>\n<li>Graphs and Diagrams<\/li>\n<li>Geometry connections<\/li>\n<li>Logic<\/li>\n<li>Astronomy<\/li>\n<li>Introduction to Trigonometry<\/li>\n<li>The Geometry of the Circle<\/li>\n<li>Polygons and Quadrilaterals<\/li>\n<li>The Geometry of Three Dimensions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Teaching Material<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Kallia Katsampoxaki-Hodgetts &amp; Eleftheria Hatzitheodoridou, Academic English for Mathematics, An English for Specific Academic Purposes Course for International Students of Mathematics Upper Intermediate\/B2 Level, Disigma Publications 2018<\/li>\n<li>Virginia Evans, Jenny Dooley &amp; Elizabeth Norton, Career Paths &#8211; Science, Express Publishing 2014<\/li>\n<li>Michael McCarthy and Felicity O\u2019Dell, \u201cAcademic Vocabulary in Use\u201d, Cambridge University Press 2008<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div style=\"--awb-backgroundcolor:rgba(255,255,255,0);\" class=\"fusion-column content-box-column content-box-column content-box-column-5 col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 fusion-content-box-hover content-box-column-last content-box-column-last-in-row\"><div class=\"col content-box-wrapper content-wrapper link-area-link-icon content-icon-wrapper-yes icon-hover-animation-fade\" data-animationOffset=\"top-into-view\"><div class=\"heading icon-left\"><h3 class=\"content-box-heading\" style=\"--h3_typography-font-size:16px;line-height:21px;\">Instructor:<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"content-container\"><a href=\"https:\/\/languages.upatras.gr\/en\/faculty-staff\/spiliopoulou-aikaterini\/\" title=\"Spiliopoulou Aikaterini\">Spiliopoulou Aikaterini<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1208,"parent":62,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"class_list":["post-1634","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/languages.upatras.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1634","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/languages.upatras.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/languages.upatras.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/languages.upatras.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/languages.upatras.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1634"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/languages.upatras.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1634\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3003,"href":"https:\/\/languages.upatras.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1634\/revisions\/3003"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/languages.upatras.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/62"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/languages.upatras.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/languages.upatras.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
