Entry knowledge

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

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Credit requirements:

Passing control tests and achieving at least 55% points or passing a comprehensive written work and achieving at least 55% points.
Awarding credit is a necessary condition for taking the exam.

Exam requirements:

The exam has a written and an oral part, with the focus of the exam being the oral part.

For all tasks in the written part, the calculation must be written down, or the procedure must be described, or the result must be justified verbally. The examples are divided into thematic groups. If the student does not achieve at least 50% of the total number of achievable points in each thematic group of examples, the written part and the entire exam are graded "F" (unsatisfactory) and the student does not proceed to the oral part.
If the student does not achieve at least 55% of the total number of achievable points in the written work, the written part and the entire exam are graded "F" (unsatisfactory) and the student does not proceed to the oral part.
The oral part, focused on knowledge of the theory, follows the written part, and also serves to resolve any ambiguities in the written part.

Attendance at exercises (seminars) is controlled.

Aims

The aim is to teach students to apply the above mentioned knowledge and methods to analyze the practical processes described by these mathematical models and to solve them, including applications in economic disciplines (calculations to be performed with regard to the use of computer technology).
The acquired knowledge and practical mathematical skills will be the mainstay for gaining further knowledge and spreading additional skills in economically oriented fields, for the correct use of mathematical software and an important starting point for acquiring new knowledge in subjects of mathematical character.
