Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will achieve the subject's main objectives. They will get the understanding of the basics of differential and integral calculus of functions of one variable and the geometric interpretations of some of the concepts. They will master differentiating and sketching the graph of a function.
They will be able to perform operations with matrices and elementary transactions, to calculate determinants and solve systems of algebraic equations (using Gauss elimination method, Cramer's rule, and the inverse of the system matrix). They will get acquainted with applications of the vector calculus to solving problems of 3D analytic geometry.

Prerequisites

Graphs of essential elementary functions (powers and roots, quadratic function, direct and indirect proportion, absolute value, trigonometric functions) and the basic properties of such functions. Simplification of algebraic expressions. Definition of a geometric vector and basics of 3D analytic geometry (parametric equations of a straight line, dot product of vectors and its applications to metric and positional problems). Identifying the the types and basic properties of conics, sketching graphs of conics).
