The student should be able to apply the basic knowledge of combinatorics on the secondary school level: to explain the notions of variations, permutations and combinations, to determine their counts, to perform computations with factorials and binomial coefficients.
From the BMA1 and BMA2 courses, the basic knowledge of differential and integral calculus is demanded. Especially, the student should be able to sketch the graphs of elementary functions, to substitute into functions, to compute derivatives (including partial derivatives) and integrals.

Teaching methods include lectures, computer exercise and other activities.

The student's work during the semestr (written tests and homework) is assessed by maximum 30 points.
Written examination is evaluated by maximum 70 points. It consist of several tasks (half of them in probability and the second half in numerical methods) and two theoretical questions (1+1, each for 5 points). To pass the exam, the student must gain at least 10 points in probability and at least 10 points in numerical methods.
