Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Maximum 20 points per semester for two written tests. In order to get the credit, at least 8 points out of 20 must be obtained.
The condition for passing the exam is to obtain at least 50 points out of a total of 100 possible (20 can be obtained for work in the semester, 80 can be obtained at the final written exam).
Absence in practical classes must be apologized.
Aims
After completing the course, students should be able to:
- decide whether vectors are linearly independent and whether they form a basis of a vector space;
- add and multiply matrices, compute the determinant of a square matrix to the 4x4 type, compute the rank and the inverse of a matrix;
- solve a system of linear equations;
- estimate the domains and sketch the grafs of elementary functions;
- compute limits and asymptots for the functions of one variable, use the L’Hospital rule to evaluate limits;
- differentiate and find the tangent to the graph of a function, find the Taylor ploynomial of a function near a given point;
- sketch the graph of a function including extrema, points of inflection and asymptotes;
- integrate using technics of integration, such as substitution, partial fractions and integration by parts;
- evaluate a definite integral including integration by parts and by a substitution for the definite integral;
- compute the area of a region using the definite integral, evaluate the inmproper integral;
- discuss the convergence of the number series, find the
set of the convergence for the power series.
