Teaching methods
Lectures and exercises.
Assessment methods
The exam has both written and oral components. In the written part students solve particular examples. In the oral part a question concerning one of the topic I-IV (see the syllabus above) is given and the knowledge of basic concepts is required.

The conditions (especially regarding the form of the tests and exam) will be specified according to the epidemiological situation and valid restrictions.
Language of instruction
Czech
Further comments (probably available only in Czech)
Study Materials
The course is taught annually.
Teacher's information
The lessons are usually in Czech or in English as needed, and the relevant terminology is always given with English equivalents. The target skills of the study include the ability to use the English language passively and actively in their own expertise and also in potential areas of application of mathematics. Assessment in all cases may be in Czech and English, at the student's choice.
