Objectives
Basic competences: CB6 Having and understanding the knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a research context. CB7 Students know how to apply their acquired knowledge and problem-solving skills in new or unfamiliar settings within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study. CB9 Students know how to communicate their conclusions and the knowledge and ultimate reasons behind them to specialised and non-specialised audiences in a clear and unambiguous way. General competences: CG1 Collect and interpret data of a mathematical nature which can be applied to other domains of scientific knowledge. CG2 Apply acquired knowledge and possess the ability to solve novel problems related with Mathematics. CG3 Being able to develop new scientific/technological approaches in a corporate environment. CG6 Being able to autonomously study and do research. Specific competences: CE12 Being able to know the peculiarities of data acquisition and information management. CE13 Ability to design and implement automatic learning systems for supervised and unsupervised problem solving. CE14 Acquire an innovative attitude and approach.
