Prerequisites
Differential and integral calculus for functions of one variable (elementary functions; limit; derivative; curve analysis; Taylor series; fundamental integration methods)
Basic linear algebra (matrix; vector; determinant; solution of system of linear equations)
These topics are also a part of the bachelor course Mathematics (BPM_MATE or BKM_MATE, spring semester), the link to the textbook for the latter courses can be found in the folder Study Materials/Learning Materials
It is also highly recommended to take the course DXX_MAT1 Mathematics for PhD studies 1
