Aims

The aim of the course is to review, reinforce, and organize the knowledge acquired in the lectures and exercises for the subject Mathematics II, and to develop students' skills in independently solving problems from all the covered thematic areas. Students will understand and be able to solve selected applications of mathematics in economics and informatics. Students will be introduced to both Czech and English technical terminology.

The acquired knowledge and practical mathematical skills will primarily support gaining knowledge and expanding skills in economically oriented fields and for the correct use of mathematical software. Additionally, they will serve as an important foundation for acquiring new insights in related mathematical subjects.
