Course detail

Seminar of Mathematics

FIT-ISMAcad. year: 2025/2026

Modifying algebraic expressions. Basic elementary functions and operations with functions. Equations and inequalities. Complex numbers. Analytical expressions of straight line and plane. Conic sections 

Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

2

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Entry knowledge

Basic high school numeracy skills. 

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

In the seminar, two test papers will be written for 2 x 10 points on the discussed material. There is also the possibility of getting 3 points for independent and error-free counting of the discussed examples at the blackboard. 

Aims

The goal is to improve or to repeat knowledge of high school mathematics needed for further study.The aim of the subject is to repeat and possibly supplement the missing knowledge of secondary school mathematics needed for further study. In particular, emphasis is placed on repeating the material and practicing skills, which are a necessary prerequisite for the further study of mathematical analysis in the subject IMA1. The subject can be especially useful for students who did not graduate in mathematics.
 

Study aids
