Language of instruction

English

Number of ECTS credits

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Offered to foreign students

Of all faculties

Entry knowledge

Knowledge of secondary school mathematics and subject matter of BPA-MA1. Students should be able to determine domains of definition of elementary functions of one real variable, understand the notion limit of functions of one real variable and a notion of number series. The skill to differentiate functions of one real variable and find primitive functions to elementary functions is needed. Students should be familiar with the concept of definite integral.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Two tests (13 points each) and 1 project (4 points). In order to get the credit at least 15 points are needed in total. The exam is awarded maximum 70 points. In order to successfully pass the subject, the credit and at least 50 points in total are needed. 

Conditions for the tests and the exam: 

  • No calculators or other electronic devices are allowed.
  • You may bring 1 A4 sheet of paper with Laplace and 1 A4 sheet of paper with Z-tranforms formulas (in both cases prints from the teaching texts only).

Aims

To introduce students to functions of more variables, elementary method of solving ordinary differential equations, functions of complex variable and Laplace, Fourier and Z-transforms and Fourier series.
