Entry knowledge

Knowledge of secondary-school mathematics and successful completion of the course “Mathematics I”.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Conditions for awarding course-unit credits:
-active participation in the seminars where the attendance is compulsory,
-fulfilment of individual tasks and successful completion of written assignments,
-working out of a semester project marked with at least “E”,
-completion of partial written exams marked more than 55% points

The exam has a written and an oral part with the written part being more important.

 

Attendance at exercises (seminars) is controlled.

Aims

The aim of the course is to build up mathematical tools necessary for the instruction of specialized courses.
Acquired knowledge and practical mathematical skills will be an important starting point for mastering new knowledge in the follow-up courses of mathematical character; they will also be essential for acquiring knowledge in courses on economy and for the correct use of mathematical software.
