Course objectives
The course is intended for all those who have some gaps in high school mathematics, have forgotten everything they knew, or are afraid of mathematics at university.
The content will be a review of basic knowledge that will be needed later (mainly in the subject Mathematics for Economists).

1. Basics of logic and sets (what is necessary and what is sufficient, sets and their properties, or infinity is not just one).
2. Expressions and working with them (powers, roots, subtraction, truncation, working with fractions and logarithms).
3. Equations and inequalities (linear, quadratic, exponential and logarithmic, zero-point method).
4. Functions (concept, examples, graphs, properties, use).
Learning outcomes
Knowledge of high school mathematics to the extent required in some basic subjects in the bachelor's degree program at ECON MUNI (especially in the subject Mathematics for Economists).
