Prerequisites
NOW( C1460 Intro to Mathematics )
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.
Course objectives
At the end of the course, students should have very basic notions in linear algebra, differential calculus of functions of one and two variables, integral calculus, and differential equations at the lowest possible level. The course is focused on obtaining basic orientation in the field. It is accompanied by practically oriented seminars, so the student will be able to solve basic tasks in the field.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, a student should have notions in linear algebra, differential calculus of functions of one and two variables, integral calculus, and simple differential equations.

Teaching methods
In-person practical seminars.
Assessment methods
The course is completed with credit, which is awarded for meeting attendance requirements (two unexcused absences are allowed), submitting three sets of problems solved as homework, and obtaining at least 50 % of the total attainable score from the three intra-term written tests.
Language of instruction
Czech
Further comments (probably available only in Czech)
Study Materials
The course can also be completed outside the examination period.
The course is taught annually.
General note: Kurz je povinný pro studijní obor Učitelství chemie pro střední školy pokud není druhým studovaným (aprobačním) oborem učitelství matematiky nebo fyziky. Je tedy např. povinný pro kombinaci Bi-Ch.
