Linear algebra, fundaments of matrix calculus, solutions of systems of linear algebraic equations, vector calculus, analytic geometry, derivative of a function , the indefinite integral, the definite integral, applications of the integral in geometry and physics.
Kinematics of a mass point, mechanical power, physical work, second order moments. Structural analysis of axial forces in statically determinate trusses, simple plane beams and plane frames.

Applications of the integral in geometry and physics. Solutions of linear differential equations

The subject is taught by lectures and exercises. Lectures involve the theoretical explanation of delivered matter. The theory is applied at solution of examples of real structures in exercises.
Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

The subject is finished by abridged examination and final examination. The abridged exam is the necessary condition for final examination entrance.The final examination consists of written and oral parts. The written examination may contain both examples and the theoretical questions. The positive result in written examination allows the student to pass to oral part.
