Course objectives
This course extends the basic knowledge from mathematical analysis. It is devoted to the basic study of systems of linear differential equations, line integrals, the theory of complex functions of complex variable, and calculus of variations.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students should be able to: to define and interpret the basic notions used in the fields mentioned above; to formulate relevant mathematical theorems and statements and to explain methods of their proofs; to use effective techniques utilized in these subject areas; to apply acquired pieces of knowledge for the solution of specific problems; to analyse selected problems from the topics of the course.

Teaching methods
lectures (2 hours per week) + tutorial (2 hours per week)
Assessment methods
Written intrasemestral tests in seminars (30 points).
Exam: written (a multiple-choice test with the theory + a practical part), it takes 120 minutes. It is possible to get at most 100 points (30 points from the tutorial, 10 points from the test, and 60 points from the practical part). For the success it is needed to have at least 50 points to pass the exam but simultaneously it is necessary to reach at least 10 points from the tutorial and 4 points from the theory test.
The conditions for final evaluation may be specified later depending on the pandemic situation and legal regulations.
Language of instruction
