The goal of the course is to introduce issues concerning the basics of financial mathematics and ecology in power engineering to students. Knowledge of financial mathematics, costs, depreciation and investment efficiency evaluation form the necessary basis for understanding the links between the economy and power engineering. Similarly, knowledge of the environmental theories, on the effects of noise and ionizing radiation and air pollution form the necessary basis for understanding the relationship between power engineering and ecology.

Due to the innovation of curriculum, this subject was formed from previously separate - seemingly unrelated - subjects. For these historical reasons, the subject is partially taught as two separate issues, but there are efforts applied to interconnect individual chapters of both subjects.

In this course, the focus is on mastering the basics of financial mathematics that are fundamental for all other economic-energy calculations. Knowledge of issues such as interest rates, discounting and time value of money is crucial for understanding as well as successful completion of economic subjects in the master studies. Similarly, it is important to learn the basic rules and principles of ecological thinking and connections between ecology and power engineering.

In this course, emphasis is placed on both the numerical exercises in which students learn various methods of financial techno-environmental calculations, and the exercises and computer laboratories where the series of practical exercises and case studies, contributing to a better understanding of the topic, are solved.
