Prerequisites

NOW(C1460 Introduction 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.

Abstract

The aim of the course is to provide students with practical experience with the fundamental concepts and principles of linear algebra, differential and integral calculus of functions of one and two variables, and the basics of differential equations. The seminars focus primarily on practising the material by solving mathematical exercises. Students actively participate in the classes and solve exercises independently at the board. In this way, they consolidate their understanding of fundamental mathematical concepts and develop the skills and methods needed to solve typical problems in these areas.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, students will be able to solve problems in selected areas of linear algebra, differential and integral calculus of functions of one or 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 extrema of functions of two variables
• 9) Indefinite integrals
• 10) Definite integrals - applications
• 11) Separable differential equations

Approaches, practices, and methods used in teaching

In-person practical seminars.

Method of verifying learning outcomes and course completion requirements

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.
