The course, in general, is concerned with providing a package of knowledge mainly related to the field of computers, as well as developing some practical skills for students. The course serves students in the field of computer science and engineering and provides a specialized package of scientific software (Mathematica and Scientific WorkPlace). Students are trained to perform complex calculations in mathematics such as calculus, algebra and geometry, as well as creating different graphics for many functions in the plane and in the 3-space, which help in understanding modern techniques in Computer Aided Geometric Design and Computer Aided Design (CAGD and CAD). The course is also concerned with developing students' skills who will complete their studies in the branches (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science and Engineering) for writing their reports and research projects using the Scientific WorkPlace program. Also, to how to add graphics to the document and deal with tables in order to develop their skills in presentations and participate in scientific conferences and to help them deal with the external work environment.
