What is brush-up mathematics?
Brush-up mathematics is an online mathematics course for new bachelor students at DTU.
The course consists of sets of exercises that you work on independently.
The course includes an introductory set of exercises that teach you the syntax of the programme and sets of exercises within the following topics: numbers and algebra, equations and functions, differential calculus, integral calculus, and vectors.
You can practice the different sets of exercises as many times as you like.
You will receive immediate feedback and get a sense of whether you are ready to study at DTU or if there are areas that may need to be reviewed.
You can contact a lecturer via phone or email if you encounter a difficult exercise.
You can access the brush-up course in mathematics on DTU Inside, DTU’s intranet.
You can access DTU Inside once you have created your DTU login. Read in your admission letter how to make your login. Please note that it may take up to three hours from ordering your DTU login until you can access DTU Inside.
We recommend using Google Chrome or FireFox when logging into DTU Inside.
