Prerequisites
NOW(C1480 Introduction to Mathematics - seminar)
It is expected that the student will enter the course with basic knowledge of mathematics at a level of secondary education.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Abstract
The course aims to familiarize students with basic concepts and principles of linear algebra, differential and integral calculus, and differential equations. Theoretically oriented lectures are complemented by examples and their solutions.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, a student should have notions in linear algebra, differential and integral calculus of functions of one and two variables, and differential equations.
Key topics
  • 1) Matrices and vectors
  • 2) GEM, determinants
  • 3) Limits
  • 4) Derivatives
  • 5) Investigating functions - theory
  • 6) Investigating functions - examples
  • 7) Partial derivatives
  • 8) Local extra of functions of two variables
  • 9) Indefinite integrals
  • 10) Definite integrals - applications
  • 11) Separable differential equations
