Selected Parts from Mathematics I

FEKT-BPA-VPAAcad. year: 2025/2026

The aim of this course is to introduce the basics of calculation of local, constrained and absolute extrema of functions of several variables, double and triple inegrals, line and surface integrals in a scalar-valued field and a vector-valued field including their physical applications.
In the field of multiple integrals , main attention is paid to calculations of multiple integrals on elementary regions and utilization of polar, cylindrical and sferical coordinates, calculalations of a potential of vector-valued field and application of integral theorems.

Entry knowledge

The student should be able to apply the basic knowledge of analytic geometry and mathamatical analysis on the secondary school level: to explain the notions of general, parametric equations of lines and surfaces and elementary functions.
From the BMA1 and BMA2 courses, the basic knowledge of differential and integral calculus and solution methods of linear differential equations with constant coefficients is demanded. Especially, the student should be able to calculate derivative (including partial derivatives) and integral of elementary functions.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

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 seven tasks (one from extrema of functions of several variables (10 points), two from multiple integrals (2 X 10 points), two from line integrals (2 x 10 points) and two from surface integrals (2 x 10 points)).
The content and forms of instruction in the evaluated course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year.
